Oil coming out of the MAF
I have read all the posts about oil in the intake but this is a bit much. The whole side of the air box is covered in oil from only 2 weeks of last looking under the hood. I had problems with a miss on acceleration and the Oil pressure light came on.
I was surprised to see I had lost 2 quarts of oil in 2 weeks since I had last checked it. I had only lost maybe a 1/4 Qt of oil between oil changes. I know the 525 does not have a pcv valve of any sort but what am I missing?
I have done the stomp test and I am getting a vaccuum leak code. I know a vaccuum leak can cause blow by but this is a bit much. I tried the Tbody cleaner and the Propane trick and got a slight rise in idle under the Intake manifold near the intake gasket. Could there be a leak at the tube going from the Block up to the Intake Manifold? or is that not under pressure?
Thanks in advance,
Jason
