so my stock 2001 integra GSR has been spitting/splattering oil out the stock exhaust. it does not really smoke at all. it does smoke a little at high rpms. Some one told me this was a sign of bad valve stem seals im not sure i was thinking rings. any advise?

I have not done a leak down or compression check i will once i get the chance but the motor purrs like when i bought it it runs smooth like a clock it also has 122k

can't suggest much till wet comp test/leakdown. but if it's actually shooting oil out of the exhaust that's pretty bad lol. yes it may idle ok but none the less.

Yes, valve stem seals, it is realy the only place it can come from if it is unburnt oil is "spitting out the exhast".94

Or valve guides

Thanks for the input thus far.
yes it is straight oil and splatters on my rear bumper.
I also noticed a bit of leakage around the normal spot above the block (b18c1) markings.
no mixing of the fluids and I forgot to mention that i drove the car cross country and while doing so the rpms where at 4,000 pretty much for 30 straight hours... I.E 5th gear
80ish mph thinking this tourture could be the culprit.

This is sad considering this car is from arizona and I clean engine bay with a tooth brush but i guess it was coming sooner or later

Are you sure its oil and not condensation from exhaust system and black because of carbon inside exhaust?

was just going to say that lol I let my car idle a bit when it's in winter storage and I get a nasty little pool of water at the back on the ground. Car just has a HFC but no muffler/resonator to soak it up/

cleansi

absolutely

i wipe my rear bumper off and i have a hand full of wet oil.

ive owned the integra for 4 years and never had a problem until recently I understand the differences. i would of asked the same thing

i could only wish that was it.

it literally is splatters of oil i could only imagine what is stored in the baffles of the oem muffler lol.

Do a leakdown test. Most likely valve seals or guides.

Rings at 120 k i doubt

How is the oil level on the dip stick? I have a similar problem, even after a rebuilt engine.

cleansi

well it goes threw about a quart or so

How often???

Every 10km, 100km 1000km, day, week, month, without knowing how often we can't tell if that is normal/real bad or someplace in between.94
