Just need someone to take a look under my rocker cover as I think I'm getting too much oil in there, causing oil in the inlet system.
Am willing to travel.

Rocker cover to TB breather pipe maybe?

Brand new breather pipe. What if camshaft seals are shot. If you take the oil cap off and look inside where the cam locator/guide is the oil is comming up from there.
If someone can confirm that any oil in there should only be from the spray bar that would be more than helpful.

Can't confirm that I'm afraid mate, I've never been brave enough to run one without the rocker cover on.

I was just saying breather pipe for woodysjw's benifit.

I know you have replaced stuff mate, I am stumped on this one as I remember it from the other thread. Really insulting question but just me idly thinking of possabilities, you couldn't have accidentally over filled it with oil could you? Or have you lent the car to anyone who could have though they were helping by toping the oil up?

Hi widge.
Oil was changed about a month ago or so, just under the limit and have been topping up since. It's suprising just how much oil is getting through.
I did recently notice I had both the O-rings missing from the crankcase drip tube, bit worried the bottom one may have fallen in, but that wouln't account for the oil in the rocker cover.
Did have a quick look today and couldn't really notice any drip's from the first hole in the spray bar so will have a look at that tomorrow.
Only fitted a ITG filter about 10 days ago and the bottom is soaked already.

cheers for the help though mate.
