Would a bad/clogged PCV valve cause enough pressure buildup to cause an oil park leak?

 

Yeah, a bad crankcase vent can cause seepage due to excess pressure where a lot of pressure isn't supposed to be.

I have had good luck with Castrol 0W40. But, I think just about any good synthetic 5W20 or 5W30 should work fine too.

 

There's only been about 200 threads/mentions about this exact thing on this site alone

rear main seal being the usual suspect of leakage when the PCV is clogged.

 

Ah, a good old fashioned forums battle of the minds. I've missed this kind of thing what with other types of social media making forums like these somewhat outdated.

 

Lol everyone is being mean to Mossman, but he's handling it well.

 

Nobody likes liars

 

You're something else, dude 🤦‍♂️😂

 

Castrol 5W-20 high mileage synthetic blend is typically what I use. I would normally use full synthetic, but I'll probably just start changing the oil more frequently (every 3,000 miles) since I start burning oil around 2500.

 

Did you post this photo 2 years ago? It's your oil pan leaking, right? You are a 100% shameless liar!



​​​​​​​Are you not disgusted by yourself?

 

Try out a thicker oil (5W30 or 0W40) and see if it has any effect. Nothing to lose.

BTW, how did you clean and prep the surfaces that you put Hondabond on?

I find that this type of nylon brush works brilliantly.

Super fast cleaning of all the old residue. Doesn't hurt the aluminum when used properly and puts on a perfect finish to prep for HB.

the flange at the upper end of the photo is the "after".

 

LOL...cot damn boy.


Reminds me of...

 

 

Dude, get a life.

Not that I need to explain anything to you, but I had my car into my mechanic to put some new tires on and asked that he take a look, and he mentioned it could be that bolt leaking. I hadn't ever attempted to locate the leak since.

Cyber bully of the month award goes to Altair47 😂

 

I used a razor blade followed by a light wiping with a scotchbrite pad, then wiped clean with Brakekleen.

 

Just pulled the rear valve cover. Wtf?! No wonder that coil plug wouldn't seat properly.

 

Metal around the holes of the front cover is jacked up too, although not as bad. Gonna go ahead and replace the front cover too I guess 🤦‍♂️

 

I think this is a common issue with the magnesium covers. Though, I'm not sure why this happens.

 

I've had this experience with magnesium parts on water cooled motorcycles. If magnesium is exposed to coolant over a long period of time, it severely corrodes and eventually disintegrates.
