RE: sick scoob...HELP!!

Oil getting sprayed through the dump vlave on my old 95wrx when its dumping....bit o back pressure!!!

could be rings....not been a good starter lately, which could point to low compression

or could it be the turbo oil seals letting oil through???

any ideas lads?????

What is the oil level at?

A cause of the dump valve blowing out oil can be the level is too high for spirited driving. Ideally the level should sit halfway between the min and max mark on the stick.

The poor starting could be the fouled plugs caused by oil ingress into the chambers so get the plugs out and check condition.

The oil ingress into the dump valve could be the breathers blowing too much oil into the intercooler area. Check the Positive Crankcase Ventalation valve is not gunged up as this would try and create a vacuum in your crankcase. Take all the induction crank breathers off and give them a damn good clean out. This will give a better circulation of gases in the crankcase and should stop it drawing oil into the induction tract

Best to do the easy things first.........

1. Check the oil level when cold........halfway between min and max is best for spirited driving

2. Remove, check condition of plugs and clean/replace said plugs with PFR7B's

3. Remove all of the plastic induction components inc breathers and valves and give them a damn good cleaning with Carb Cleaner

Try car and see how it is.

If fine and dandy......Thank Squirrel for his advise and drive like a man possesed

If still rough...............Try this next one

Give it a compression test on all cylinders to check for the obvious signs

Oil mixed in with Petrol in the combustion chamber will lower the octane of the charge quite substancially

Best of luck

How much oil?

A tiny bit is normal to the best of my knowledge.

[andrew_lally]

oil level is 3/4 way up after spewing some out....i filled it up to the max level!!!

will get it all stripped and cleaned.....it spewed a lot out!!!!!

cheers for the info squirrel!!!
