Excessive air blowing from oil fill cap hole ?
When I remove the oil fill cap (F23A1) with the engine running, a lot of "air" blows out from the fill hole. As if there is small blower inside that is blowing the vapors out. Is this normal ?
well it is certainly not a light gentle movement of air. It is fairly strong. You can feel it hit your hand pretty good about 6" from the hole. Definitely much more than my other car which is an Acura MDX (3.5L V6 engine). Let me see if I can post a audio or video of it...
yes thats right. sounds like a muffler as soon as I pop the cap.
will a compression test tell me if there is a problem ? I know it wont tell me "where" the problem is but I'd be able to do that much quicker than a leak-down test.
