magician Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 please give me some advice,I have just bought the car and its pushing out oil from a hole under the manufold.I assume its a breather.before I Change rings and bearings just wanted advice.its a l18 motor Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I assume this is the block vent. It should have a pipe from it through or behind the exhaust manifold and from it a rubber hose to the PCV valve mounted on the intake. It's the orange pipe below. This is for an L16 or 18 but yours may be different. That metal pipe should go to a rubber hose (this one is silver) like the one at the top of this picture. It is connected to the PCV valve on the intake. Is this what you have? Having that pipe connected will allow oil spray time to settle and run back into the engine. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Yeah that looks like an L20B engine. The hole is the block vent and should have a screen down inside it to collect oil mist and spray. There should be a tube connecting it to the intake to draw out any warm moist vapors from the block. Oil shouldn't be coming out of it but the pipe isn't on either. Quote Link to comment
magician Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks,I'm going to try putting it back to original state and check if oil still pushes up,ir so im going to have the motor overhauled. Quote Link to comment
