Oil from Breather

[paccio]

I'm getting oil coming from my breather dripping onto my header. Then of course it burns off on start-up kinda annoying.

No issues with car it runs great. It started happening once i started running 23# on alky.

No smoke from car at all. Oil looks good so does the coolant.

Do you think it's from running the high boost?

Thanks Phil

I have no idea what you have for breathers so bear with me here. You need to make certain that the motor is able to vent or you will see oil in the breathers. You also need a one way check valve on the PCV or you will see oil for sure. When you start seeing a bunch of oil at just 23 psi, that is indicative of a few things....poor ring or valve sealing (blow by), bad PCV, or not enough venting through the valve covers.

I have a breather in the oil fill opening, that is where the oil is dripping from. I

Also have a breather in the opening that went to the inlet bell on the turbo.

I don't have anything in the passenger valve cover. How do you check the pcv or should i just replace it?

I'll check the one way valve and make sure it's ok.
