air being pushed out of oil filler opening during idle. Normal or compression leak?
when i remove the oil cap while the car is idling air is rushing out of it. is it normal for the air to be coming out of the oil filler opening while the car is idling or does that mean i have a compression leak.

Blow by. Valve seals are bad.
So where can you get new seals? I think i need to rebuild my whole vavletrain. I got some gsr cams waitin, but where can i get seals?

i think its normal, but dont quote me. if valve seals caused it, i think you would just lose compression. and waste gas. Blow by is somewhat normal according to my mechanic, if its excessive...then you're piston rings are needing a replacement.
if there was absolutely no blow by, then there wouldnt be a need for breathers and return lines.
