Procharged GTO -- Oil Leak? hey guys,
I picked up a week ago today a Procharged GTO
I went to change the oil today, I removed the skid plate and there was oil all over everything. The skid plate basically acted like a splash guard
I checked the engine oil and it was low, but not overly low.
The car hasn't blown the dipstick out, but it doesn't have a breather or anything on it either.
Where could the oil come from? Nothing uptop has oil on it.
I'm assuming this is from free reving the car
(hey, its new, i couldn't help it)
I think I just have excessive crank case pressure....does everyone agree?
Throw a breather on where you poor the oil in? Anybody have a part number for one that will thread in?
So where is the oil coming from?
I'm not overly concerned the car runs great...I just think that it needs a breather...what do you guys think?
Car is running about 8-9psi
Thanks guys!

Here is the valve cover breather.
I would clean everything off with engine degreaser, and keep a good eye on where the oil is coming from.
Have you checked the oil level in the ProCharger? Bob

Hey Bob,
You know this car, the previous owner had you guys do a lot of work to it
I think he might have done the Procharger install, not sure, but you guys did the tune, clutch etc.
But I didn't check the Procharger oil level, since I was changing it out anyways. But as I said, the engine oil was low, so it was def. that. Plus it didn't have that blue'ish tint that the Procharger oil has.
