Right after the Vortech install I noticed a oil spray sort of pattern behind the blower and covering the fuel pump and lines and fittings in this general area. Overnight a small drop quarter size light oil on floor.

Had it at the dealer today for an oil sensor replacement and asked him to try to locate the oil problem..He says could be the head gasket because he cleaned the area and saw some coolant drops after...My coolant temp holds steady at 200 deg into the rad and the overfill seems not to change. Had the S/C for approx 3500 miles. Any thoughts ideas suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Forgot to add no coolant in the oil and no smoke out the tail.

 

Check the oil line going to the SCer. It can work its way loose.

 

Second on the fitting....it is highly unlikely that you would get a high pressure oil spray from a headgasket problem. Where do these Nissan techs come from???????

 

I was doing a WOT run last year . Had oil squirt out of my oil dip stick hole .It got all over every thing and had a huge smoke cloud behind me . Never did it again . Might be a possibility that may be the problem

 

Does not appear to be the dip stick it is snug in the engine and no oil aroud it..

 

i've done that twice, messy and scary

 

Very scary...wish I knew why it did it

 

both of my times were because i didn't make sure the dipstick was COMPLETELY pushed down all of the way after messing with the intercooler piping (probably working it loose)

 

But why should there be preasure in the crank case to push the oil up the dip stick ?

 

Head gaskets rarely blow and discharge fluids outside of the block. They usually leak coolant into the oil passages inside the engine. Open up the overflow tank and look for oily water or drain your oil and look for coolant.

Bad PCV value or the PCV line is pinched. Possibly piston blow-by... My 2¢

 

yeah, that happened to me once.. oil oozed out of crankcase cover.. was scary but didn't seem to do any harm except get oil everywhere.. of course my gasket probably isn't too happy either..
