I bet seafoam swelled the seal

 

just an aside--it stopped dripping!!
BUT
you might want to ck the oil level~

like old brit cars- if they aren't leaking-its out of oil!

 

i never put the seafoam in my oil

all i did was change my oil and put a new K-N oil filter on and thats it

sure enough i put it on the lift at work and nuttin at all---no oil anywhere

 

after the abuse you put on the oil over the winter--and you didnt foam it?
wow man, get on the seafoam bus~

 

Note the red sarcasm color on seafoam--
was for those who think its garbage and will cause damage
like swelling of seals~

 

yea i know i abused the oil over the winter---just didnt feel comfortable putting it in the oil with a leak ya know

im gonna put it in though when im ready for my next oil change

 

I understand your concerns at the time,,
and my point is about the sludge and mositure laden oil from those many short run times,
circulating around
but you did at least change the oil so thats good
do a 200 miles with seafoam 1/2 can in oil before next change and it'll be right

wonder if I can buy stock in seafoam?

 

yea im definetley gonna run seafoam threw the oil

and yea man----buy sum stock in that shit

you really like that seafoam huh man---i always see ya talking about it on here

 

fsttyms1 got me hooked on it,,then I realized it was the stuff for the fuel injector cleaning machine we had in the shop---back in the day

seafoam had to remove a coloring dye a few years ago when govt regs changed
Some thought the formula was different-no, just removed a dye
so looking at it didnt ring a bell in the ol brain~

there are other good products, such as redline for injectors, bg44 however its used etc.
Most products do one thing, oil-gas-vac port- `cleaning kits` have 3 cans-
seafoam does them all, and 1001 things around the house from removing fresh road tar off the car, to lube for the house door hinges and locks! (aerosol form)

when I find a product that works- I share that info
we have new people joining every day, so it becomes necessary to repeat over and over
The car runs SOOOOOOOO much better,, you cant believe you only spent 20 bucks

 

Unless you enjoy supporting the oil companies during their tough times??

 

yea i feel ya man

i ran that shit threw my vac port and felt the difference

then i took my shit apart and cleaned the egr ports and throttle body

i also ran it threw the gas tank----and im gonna put it in my oil when im ready

i find it sum good shit to man

thanks for all the advice

 

Find a farm and fleet. Its much cheaper for a gallon of it. Its only 48 bucks for a gallon and it will last you a long time.

 

yea theres 1 of them in west bend------i just havent made my way there yet

im definetley gonna though

thanks for the advice---good looking out man

 

I cleaned my PCV today. It seemed to be working OK...


Just to clarify the picture in Post #9, the PCV is to the right of item A (which is a sensor in the intake).

To remove the PCV safely:

1. Remove the two plastic covers over the intake. (4 10MM bolts, two 1/4 turn retainers and one push-plug.)
2. Remove the rear cover that clips the plug coil wires (two 10MM bolts)

Note that the white dot on the PCV hose lines up with the seam on the L shaped nozzle of the PCV.
