ok so i have a 99 gs.with hahn turbo kit. never had any problems until now. im running 4 psi on a healthy motor. so when i drive it somehow someway oil is being pushed out of the k&n filter that is ontop of the head. i thought this was a vaccum/breather. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thank you john
 
sounds like too much valve pressure. If its the breather tube that runs to your manifold(that was replaced with a KN breather filter), then you should either replace it or get a catchcan,


I would start looking up some catchcan set ups for your car. Road Racing engineering and JMF both have really nice catchcans.

post a picture to help resolve this problem, pictures always help out.
