ok i have a 91 TSI, 98K miles on it, and my setup is as follows.
-ECM Link/DSM Link V3. Lite
-3G MAS
-BC 272/272 cams
-walbro 255
-16G turbo
-PTE 880cc Injectors
-2G Turbo Mani
-custom exhaust
STOCK Head gasket, Studs, valves, springs, and Bottom End.
Well i had a small oil problem before and i noticed it was where my VC was cracked. So while looking for a new V.C. I threw some JB weld on it and went about my business, which basically eliminated the oil problem. Well i was running 22lbs the other night doing a little data logging and a little tuning. Pulled over to take a break, popped my hood and i had oil EVERYWHERE, under the hood, on the firewall, on both shock towers....it looked as if it had slung off the timing belt, but that doesn't explain it being all over both shock towers, and i know it was not coming from where my V.C. Was cracked because i have a COP setup now, and it looked like it was coming from my head gasket. so i went ahead and pulled my head, (i had ARP Studs, Springs and Titanium Retainers, and a cometic gasket ready to go in anyways but didnt wanna pull my head) But weird thing is my Head gasket looked fine when i pulled my head.
Now, is there anywhere else that oil can SPRAY HARDCORE from? it looked like it was centralized right below my water neck (thermo Housing).... But i dont see where it could come from......
So basically can anyone tell me maybe where to look? investigate, etc etc...?
Thanks guys, any questions please ask...
