Rear main/ PCV?? I replaced my rear main a couple months ago cause it was blowing oil out. I also did the pan gasket at the same time. Pretty much all oil leaks were gone. I drove for about 4 hours today then parked at work. I noticed my car was pouring oil out again. It leaks while running and for a few minutes after, then becomes a slow drip.
I'm pretty sure its the rear main again. Could it be that my PCV system is not functioning properly, building too much pressure in the crankcase and blowing the seal out?
Today for the first time, i also a little mayo on the bottom of the oil cap. I've never had that before on this car.

The oil cap is probly condensation...Are you loosing coolant? Do you have any smoke coming out of the oil fill cap when the engine is running? You could try to replace the pcv valve and see if that helps. I would do a compression test and a leak down test to see if you have blow by happening.
