Too much oil coming out of breather(2.4)
Monday, March 24, 2008 4:46 PM
Hey whats up guys.
I have tons of oil coming out of my breather tube.Its all over the intake manifold,injector harness,and the throttle plate is covered in oil.What could be the cause of this?Rings?valve seals?If my rings were shot,i should have oil all over the plugs correct?I cant do a leak down test because i dont have acces to compressed air.The car has been sitting for almost a year in a half with a few drives here and there since i got the cobalt.Its been like this before i got the balt.I wanna put it back on the road.Its not even worth replacing the oil separator cause its just an empty box,so what do you guys think?

Should just be blow-by but if it's real bad then it may be something else,look into getting an oil catch can

Nah,a catch can isnt gonna fix it.I think the rings might be shot.Im probably gonna sell it,so in the mean time im gonna throw a can of engine restore in there.It should help it a little bit,ive heard pretty good things about that stuff.

Are you going to return the car back to stock and how much are you wanting for it?

Yeah,its pretty much back to stock.The only aftermarket things on the car are the underdrive crank and alternator pullies, and the rk sport header.It has a brand new act clutch and fidanza flywheel.I have the magnaflow muffler in the trunk,along with the rear window solar wing.Ill probably ask between 1000 and 1500 depending on how much i fix it up.The body is very clean for being 10 years old with the usual dings and bumper scuffs.The interior is pretty much mint.Just needs a scrubbing.
