does that have a mechanical fuel pump?

i think i remember that if the diaphram in the fuel pump leaks it can suck oil into the intake at least on some cars.

maybe that was on my old fifties caddies and pontiacs, which have a vac pump on the top of the fuel pump so that the windshield wipers dont stop when you step on the gas.

i doubt that this car has that.

so maby it is a pcv problem. does that one have an oil separater?
