get some good pictures of where its leaking

Re: 14b on d16y7, oil leak from valve cover?
 

Your probably using PCValve. Is your PCValve conected to intake manifold?

Re: 14b on d16y7, oil leak from valve cover?
 

the PCV valve is connected to the intake mani right? The leak is definitely coming from the front, right above the turbo, and seems to be shooting up. Getting pics in a few minutes

As you can see its on top of the valve cover, on top of the turbo (since oil is pooling in the bolts), and also sprayed up on my hood. Its also on my PS resorvoir/hoses, and my whole manifold is soaked. You can also see that the dizzy is compltely dry, that whole half of my engine is fine. Ideas?

And you guys like my new painted valve cover? 8)

P.S. those pictures are rotated, they're still processing in PhotoBucket, sorry!

Holy Christ.. I thought my VC was leaking bad.. I just have a little bit of wetness on the top of my mani.

Where's your dipstick?

edit: Oh, it's way the ---- over to the drivers side. Hmmm.

You didnt mention if your running a restrictor valve to the turbo? Also what type of Ventilation do you have as far as your pcv setup? Obviously you have a breather on your valve cover, and somewhere in this thread you mentioned you still had the pcv valve connected to a vacuum source. that may be your problem, or your cam seal is just old and needs replacement? Try uplugging the pcv valve, plug up the vacuum hose, and vent all the crankcase pressure into a bottle or the ground and see if that helps out. If so pick up a catch can set up and hook it up, most all turbo cars need them since your forcing air pressure into the engine under boost. Probably why you dont notice it leaking while its just idling. Good luck

resitrictor valve? like oil restrictor? Yes, i am if thats what you are talking about. And i don't know much about PCV valves, i know i've got my valve cover vented with that filter, and the hose that originally was connected from my valve cover to my old CAI isn't connected anymore, you can see that in this picture:

So if i got a catch can where do the hoses hook up? One end to where the filter on the valve cover, but what about the other end?

yeah i've got my manual right here and i'm not new to Hondas, i'm also not ------- stupid, but i don't know exactly where my PCV valve is, anybody got a picture of where one is on a d16y7?

Pin hole in oil line ???

Re: 14b on d16y7, oil leak from valve cover?
 

idk man, because it doesn't happen at idle, my car is going to the shop right now to get the downpipe welded and i guess they're going to take a look at it. It sucks because i hate having a shop work on my car, but i am at an absolute loss.
