Well... my engine is REALLY leaking oil right now. I'm talking about a quart of oil per 3/4 tank. Howard thinks it might be blow by. Can anyone tell me how to do a leakdown test and or any other test I might run to figure out where the oil is coming from?

are you having some HUGE smoking issues?

My bet is the oil pressure switch, when mine broke it leaked 2 quarts every 1/8 tank.

IS it leaving a puddle?

Where on the motor is it coming from?

Does the dipstick end up smelling like gas?

I can look at it late this week if needed.

Exxon Valdez kinda leak. No smoke, but I didn't want to get under the car without a hazmat suit on. Pushrod tube(s)? How's it running with more advance??

I'll try to get under it tomorrow. Been busy doin' the family thang the last couple of days... and my cardboard box in the garage is ready for a replacement (read: It's already soaked in oil).
