I dunno what the deal is, but my cars leaking oil somewhere, I know its not burning because id have noticed that........ I see a bunch of residue around the PCV and along the back of it dribbling down onto the injectors/fuel rail....... I just changed it not too long ago is the thing that bothers me.......... ought it from Autozone and changed it when I seafoamed the block, but theres some serious oil buildup on the bit that sticks into the cylinder head and its formed a ring around the hole......... I think it might be that, but it could be somewhere else, I mean I made the oil change like 3 weeks ago and im already down a litre or so.. assuming for a minute that it IS the PCV what could be causing that, high oil pressure???, and my oil dipstick is getting kinda slippery again, so I thing the rubber seal/gasket thing is going out on this one too (this is my 2nd one because the OE one finally did pop off and leak oil everwhere

and now the oil level has magically risen again......... WTF, I checked it last night and it was between the 2 marks, then now just 2 minutes ago its now sitting comfortably above the Max line........ ummm, yeah

Make sure your PCV hose is clear. A blockage in the PCV hose will cause oil vapor to be pushed into the air intake, causing substantial oil consumption.

PCV air flows from air intake into valve cover, out through PCV, PCV hose to throttle body in normal flow. Under heavy acceleration w/ low vacuum and high blowby pressure, crankcase pressure can go positive and air w/ oil vapor will flow from valve cover into PCV air intake.

Remove air intake duct and check downstream of the PCV air outlet to the valve cover. If you see lots of oil/dirt accumulated on the inside of the duct and running oil perhaps in the throttle body, you have a PCV problem. Note, some dirt/oil accumulation is normal, but not liquid, running oil.

good luck

Get the Acura OEM PCV valve, I found out the Canadian Tire one I'd been using has a larger hole than the Acura part, and I don't like the engine shooting too much oil through there, I think I have too much blowby already.
