What's causing my oil leak?

pos · Jan 30, 2008

Hello,

My 2.5 N/A pushes oil out of the filler cap and two rocker cover bolts and I am trying to narrow down the cause. All was fine on the pressure test, each cylinder was well within the tolerances but there is of course the chance that a piston ring may have worn very slightly allowing some of the pressure to force its way up.

Is there anything else which could be casing this to happen though like timing out? Head gasket failure?

Thanks in advance for any help

before he does that he wants to remove his dipstick and put his hand over the tube to see if it's spraying oil back up the tube.
