This report gives me great hope that my engine is not completely trashed! Less pressure in the valve cover? My car had a similarly seepy cap until I replaced the gasket, but tightening up the gasket on the cap made the fresh valve cover gasket seep. There is so much pressure inside of the valve cover that it blows oil through the vent and directly in to the intake in rather large amounts.

I'll be on the edge of my seat until the oil consumption results are in. This is really exciting!
