is this an ominous sign?
After taking a cruise, I pulled into the driveway and noticed smoke and a burning oil smell coming from under the hood. The engine temp and oil pressure were fine. I opened the hood and saw oil leaking out of the oil filler cap and dripping onto the manifolds and injectors. Also, the oil seperator tube from the air filter to the return tube seperated and dripped onto the turbo (the smoke). Is there too much internal pressure in my engine?The breather tube didn't seem to be blocked. I didn't lose very much oil, but am concerned that my blowby situation is out of control. There is a lot of smoke that comes out of the oil filler while running. I did the "block the breather tube shutdown test" and it takes 14 seconds to kill the engine. Could this just be the filler cap?
If you haven't noticed I'm paranoid about my engine!
P/S what's so special about the rack dampener pin? How can it wear out? And last, why the hell is it so friggin expensive?
