Oil Leaking Out Of Top Of Engine #616789 04/28/03 11:09 AM

I removed the upper and lower intake and there was puddles of oil sitting between the heads. Also I have a cold air intake and there is oil from the engine in the filter. The engine runs good but I notice grey smoke from the exhaust at times. I am not really sure where it is coming from. I replace the PCV valve but I am not really sure this was the problem. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this. Last edited by contour52; 04/28/03 11:11 AM.

It is not coming from the valve covers as far as I can tell all the oil is sitting below the valve covers. My question is could a PCV valve cause this??? How is the oil getting into the air filter?? I may have valve seals going bad??
