Every motor has some. Don't worry about it till you see lots coming out or a puffy ( uneven ) discharge. Some oil ( very little ) can drip out the tube. Man that almost sounds like a doctors diagnosis from hell.

The 3200 spring, more commonly called the 366 spring replaces the stock governor spring in the VE, allowing the pump to fuel all the way to 3200 rpm's, provided you have the fuel. It is a very good upgrade on these trucks.
