Hey guys i am new to the forum (posted in the New member forum) and i wanted to ask a few questions. I have searched AND searched.
I recently got me a 1984 Ranger 2wd 2.3L. Runs nice and all. I drove it for two days seems fine, then i did a oil change and drove to work the next day (on the highway 70-75mph 4th gear) and OIL was all over the passanger side engine bay. There is a hose pointed towards that side that sits on top of the Valve cover, and i believe it came from there. I thought maybe i over filled the oil, but mind i only added 5qts of 10w30 with filter change. The PCV is there connected to a hose by the distributor, but the small side of the PCV hose is cutt off and plugged with a screw. Im trying and trying to see where this side of the hose gets connected to, to see if this would help the blow bye. Could me driving highway speeds do anything with oil getting everywhere? ANY help or links would help. Again i have searched and found some things but not what i am asking. TIA
