IM STUCK

[19ryancloud84]

2.8L 4wd 1984 BII 89,000 miles 14-18mpg in town 25hwy

UPDATES

new pcv valve, distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs & wires, battery and cables, and filters.

The Engine leaks oil. Bad. Big puddles. It doesnt burn it. No weird smells or blue or black smoke.

When I go to check the oil. (heres the prob.) When I go to see exactly how much oil I have, the dipstick is shot out a little bit. It has oil, dirt, and something

that looks like wood glue all over it. So its a little hard to read. What is this. We thought it was a head gasket but the coolant is clean and level all the time.

Im pretty sure there is water in the oil pan. Also, it shoots the oil cap off. I guess it has to much pressure or something but the oil and cap shoot out.

Its almost pushing the oil out of the pan, through the rear main and the oil chute. Oil goes everywhere.........BIG MESS. prob 2-3 quarts per week.

HELP

Is the cat plugged. Or is it just a German automotive thing or pcv or vacuum or bad compression.

Its more than likely cracked head,blown head gasket or a leaking intake.Have the cooling system pressure checked.If you do it yourself,pressurize the radiator at no more than 18 psi,then start pulling your spark plugs one by one....it wont take long to find the prob.as far as no coolant drop,it really doesnt take much coolant in your oil to start turnin nasty.

I agree.

BTW... that is a cool trick for narrowing down the location of the leak.

thanks a billion, my guess was the rings, because the coolant level does not go down or get dirty.

I think im haveing it rebuilt if i dont do it my self in my auto class at school. But thanks for the replies.
