My car weeps oil from the oil fill cap and seems to be seeping up from the plug wells on to the to of th vc..? I will try to post a pic. Symptoms are oil consumption tapping at cold start, intermediate tapping under load and low rpm, and Wet plugs. Before I just change the gasket , it sounds like I have a positive pressure problem pushing the oil, otherwise I can't see how I could have oil marks on top of the vc. Car runs smooth when warm except for the intermittent tapping described above. It does not smoke at start up, but under a hard pull I have noticed a small amount at night if someone is behind me with there headlights on. Can't see any at day time. Does this sound like worn ring blow by, or possibly a simple fix of some breather hoses/ valves? When I bought the car last year po had receipts with labor of all hoses replaced.
