Uh oh...smoke/oil from crankcase breather!

Houston I think we have a problem!!!


I have a fair amount of smoke and oil coming from the breather tube...and sometimes I can hear the air being pushed out of the breather.

Is it possible it is something other than piston rings causing all the blowby?

i have a 92 and mine does it all the time when i drive, i dont have a fair amount of oil that drips out, i have a small dripping which i think is normal. I also see some steam looking oil smoke that comes out of it after i beat on it. im not sure if that is any different for an 02?

Check your oil level, 9 times out of 10 theres too much in there.
