Few Questions...burning oil...oil everywhere.

[empera]

ok so im burning oil, i need to change my CPS o-ring which will be soon, but could that be causing the car to smoke that much? i've changed the cam seals, there is a bunch of oil near the cams, some on the battery, some on the right tems cover, a bunch on the water pump and Tstat housing. i may be exagerating but there is a pretty good amount of oil in my engine. im pretty sure its not the cps oring causing that much, because watever drips outta that falls straight onto exhaust mani. and like i said before the cam seals were changed, and there seems not to be any "puddles" of oil inside the cam gears.

Any Know wat other seals/gaskets i should be changing or looking at?

Thanks,
emp.

The big hose that goes from the Cam box to the block is prone to splitting maybe it's from there?

Possibly front cam seals. If they leak, they can hit the fan and then go every where.

Also, if you have a BOV venting to atmosphere and a intercooler that is full of oil, you just found your problem.

nah im sure its not the bov, cause its shootin the opposite direction, im pretty sure its not the cam seals because i replaced them, then had them replaced...might be the hose IJ is talkin about but how would it get underneath the waterpump.

Might just be something simple like it's running downhill Emp.

Grab a can of degreaser apply then hose it off so it's all clean then watch it over the next few days and try the find it's source.

How's your power steering oil level? How about the head gasket? It can be prone to leak at the front corners, as the TSRM says to use silicone there when installing it.

Also, use some 'Simple Green' to degrease. A fellow today was telling me about some degreaser in Gal jug at Costco for $8. Water soluable and works better than anything he's tried. I'm gonna get some. I'll let you all know how it performs.

Turbo lines? The pressurized side could do that... 'course, the turbo should have died by now...

Pressure line to the oil cooler might be able to do that as well.
