Pulled my Manifold and found this.

[Eclipse 1998]

Had really bad oil return and oil filter housing leaks, so i pulled my manifold and found that the last port has oil coming out of it. The other ports look fine though. How do i fix this?

look's to me like the valve stem seals are bad.

yup had the same prob with my car.... valve stem seals

If i run a catch can setup, and thicker oil could this be a temporary fix? Also is it worth worrying about at this point due to only one valve leaking oil?

Just fix it, if that is the problem its only the top end.

Valve stem seals. I've been running my car like this the past year, ya you can run it like this but it'll burn oil. I've put it off for so long, but now with emissions coming up I doubt i'll pass.

I don't have the mechanical experience or the time to do this right now because I only have one vehicle and cant afford the down time but I want to learn how to do it, I had already read the Vfaq thread and I know I need the tool or I could make one, but its only one valve so I'm just gonna run it like this for a while if its just going to cause me to burn oil and no other repercussions.Any other suggestions?

What do you mean any other suggestions? Are you wanting to know what else could cause the oil? If you want to know than take it apart and look, if you aren't going to fix it, than just ignore it and don't worry about it. If I were you I would pull the cams and replace all of the seals, just to eliminate the nasty buildup on the pistons, valves exhaust runners and combustion chamber.

Just fix it, it will end up causing more problems but its up to you.

valve stem seals, same exact thing happened to my car, worth the fix! if you search you will find a good write up on how to do them and save you some labor $$
