Help! oil leak
Ok so i have a b20VTEC in my integra with a junk yard peiced toghter "home made" kit.
I have been burning oil like crazy brand new motor 1,450 miles on it everything internal was machined or new
my breather hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake its not hooked up to anything yet and its just steaming out i noticed just a few days ago white smoke is shooting thru at idle and even more when i give it throttle. I did have bad valve cover gaskets but I just replaced them today. Anyways I noticed everytime I would put my finger on the end of the breather hose oil would just start spilling to the ground from the top of the oil return.
any suggestions? do you guys think its leaking because the crankcase pressure isnt being released? what should I do?
heres a pic to more clarify what im talking about

I am having a simialar problem at the moment. It's hard to tell where your valve cover breather hose ends up running to with the green circle. I am adding a catch can to my simialer setup and checking the oil ring seals next. I never have smoke below 4k but if I boost I'll get smoke white smoke in between shifts.
your **** kinda sounds blown up....the smoking at idle is a good clue, thats what mine was doing right before a blew a hole in the piston...when you plug up the only vent for crankcase pressure, it has to find a way out somewhere and the path of least resistance in your case is the oil return.....I know you said everthing was new, but what kind of tune do you have on it? Have you given the rings time to seat in? do a compression check or leakdown test and post up the results
Nah I don't think his engine is blown. If it is an issue with his rings he can re-seat them. Where he sees the leak could just be a manifold gasket issue from where it looks like he circled it. When your covering your VC breather hose the pressure has to go somewhere which is why you're seeing an increase in the leak. No matter if your engine is perfect or about to blow your going to see increased pressure from its earliest possible exit thus being your manifold leak it looks like.
