13464, Oil leaking after CAI install....help!!
Posted by JJPhatStrat, Jan-31-02 09:48 AM
It seems to be coming from where the little silicon hose that connects from the intake pipe back to the engine connects back to the engine (not sure exactly where it is coming from) and its getting all over everything like even down in the sparkplugs. i am dumbfounded.

Is it actually coming from the crankcase breather, or is it just manifesting in the sparkplug wells?
The nipple for the breather is sealed. It also threads in, so i imagine you can thread it out, teflon tape it, and reinstall it to fix the leak, if that is indeed where it is coming from.
If it's just ending up in the sparkplug wells, and you're not really sure where it's coming from, you likely have bad well seals. They come with a valvecover kit, so buy new ones and replace them all.

yeah, I talked to you on aol, and what you described sounds like a valve cover gasket/spark plug seal leak. That is what I had about 6 months ago. Go to NAPA, and get the valve cover gasket kit. Everything you need comes with it.

yea jj.. if you have oil in ur spark plug wells just get a VC kit and make sure it has tube seals in it.. i just did mine and its nice and clean in there now..
there should be some oil from the crankcase that would go into the intake andthats how u get all that crap on your TB plate..
you can get breather filter and cap off the hole on the intake.. thatwill stop that oil from gettting on ur TB plate.. mine stays clean

i had this problem when i had a b16a in my 89 CRX before i sold it.. i had to replace all the seals/ head gasket/and the rings for the spark plug wells.. you better take care of thta soon because after a drive you may find your oil on the ground like i did
