Ok...story goes, Im going home from work...I have enough gas to get home but then theres construction along the side of the highway so Im stuck in traffic for about 20 minz...gas light goes on..and theres no gas station anywhere until i get around my house ... so Im driving...then all of a sudden my gas light goes off...im thinking to myself "okay im good to go then"... WRONG... gas light comes back on 5 minz later...Im So close to home then all of a sudden my car starts to loose power....then my battery light goes on and my car completely shuts off (lose power steering, lose brakes, but all the electricals are still fine)....I glide to a stop and think to my self...okay i guess i ran out of gas...... When i pop my hood for the hell of it..... I find that oil is Everywhere on the top left side(Circled GREEN) in my engine bay...and the opening where the EngineHead get air is steamin(circled RED, also thats where I think the oil came out from)....I have No Idea what happend...

10minz later my friend comez and gives me gas.... car struggles to starts up and doesent idle .... just dies if i dont keep on gas'n it.....(Hella Smoke)....

What happend?....Did I blow my motor ....how can i fix this!!!PLEASE HELP

 

damn thats strange..where exactly did the oil leak out from? i hope when your car wasnt low on gas, it didnt lean out the motor, starving it of fuel. I never heard of that before though. Bump, someone must know.

 

where the red circle is .... im sure of it because I had a blue hose there and it shot it right out...

 

hows your catchcan system ??
to much pressure under teh valve cover :S

might have broken a ringland. or mebbe the rings are just worn out. a lil oil/smoke is kinda normal. as long as its not a SHITLOAD.


as for your car dyin and starting up wierd. that is odd. you motor will not just blow up like that.


hows the car running right now ? you fill it up with gas yet ?

Yeah Too much preasure under valve cover. Very bad idea to have that hooked up to the valve cover like it is stock. I would say to take off the valve cover and see if there is any damage. Too bad that happend but i can see why it happend by the way its hooked up.

 

blowby

Yeah, I don't think it had anything to do with you being low on gas... probably just a coincidence...

Maybe there was too much crankcase pressure and it caused you to crack a ringland or something to let it by... there must have been a lot of pressure in your crankcase!

What kind of PCV system were you running?

I dono probably stock set up..... as far as the hose hooked on to the head.... the other end of the hose was open... never hooked up anywhere....

I'll take acutal pix today...

 

Looks like your valve cover breather is hooked up to the charge pipe. YIKES!!!

 

Did anybody bother to check the oil?

haha i quoted myself..... but anyways... what should i Do??

-Change out Headgaskets and dump out oil and add new oil?

 

u put gas in it ? i bet you itll run the same as it did b4

to solve this issue. you just rebuild the motor. new rings. new pistons rehone the motor. so no oil leaks or blow by.

 

compression check leak down test

 

Just for future knowledge, you should T your PCV and crankcase breathers and then hook them up to the piping before the turbo. That way they always have a good vacuum on them. Oh and of course a catch can between them to keep the water and oil out of the engine.
