oil coming out of exhaust A small amount of oil comes out on my trans am exhaust when cold started. It is an ls1 with ls6 ported intake manifold, ls6 ported heads, ported throttle body, thunder racing cams, with shimmed ls6 oil pump, 30lb injectors, comp cam springs and hardened pushrods. The car runs fine, just makes me wonder if a valve seal is worn or something isnt right? maybe a ring leaking, but I would feel a loss of power wouldnt I? I guess I could check compression what do yall think.
thanks,Brian

if it is carbon build up is that a bad thing, I dont know if this is a stupid question but would carbon build up look like oil? It kinda seeps out of the exhaust. Their is no loss of power or pinging. Maybe the air/fuel ratio is too rich? I would just think if it were something serious it would have a loss of power of some sort. The car has high flow cats too I dont know if that could have something to do with it.
