Setup:
I have a d16a6 motor with a chipped 91 pm6 ecu and short ram intake. Everything else is stock. Recently swapped this motor in (motor was sitting for a year). I had an older d16a6, reused the intake manifold and tranny.

Problem:
I have oil leaking on the ground (haven't checked what's leaking yet cause it's raining pretty hard, no garage). I'm guessing it's the oil pump seal because it looked like it had a very slight leak when we pulled off the crank pulley.

After I noticed the oil leak, I made sure I had enough oil for a short drive (>10 miles). Turns out the oil was very clear, and smelled like gas.

Would an oil pump seal failure cause oil to seep into the crankcase?

Searched...seems like no one ever posts their end results or their solution.

btw, no cel codes

TIA

bump for my daily...i'm immobile!!!

 

anyone have ideals/suggestions?

 

update: just changed my oil...it was very gritty and smelled like fuel

checked my injectors and the one closest to the distributor looked wet around the head. looked like my clutch cable was pinching the injector at the top because my new valve cover didn't have the hook for the clutch cable, so it was resting on this one injector.

should i change this injector? is it difficult to change? should i change all of them?

-TIA

 

what set up do you have sohc with mpfi or dpfi dohc. or a dohc and how did the clutch cable get that much pressure on the injector

 

Fuel is going past your rings. Check compression?

I have a sohc with mpfi.

The clutch hook near the distributor applied the pressure on top of the injector (on top of the plastic shield). The new valve cover doesn't have the clutch cable hook in the center of the valve cover, so the one hook by the distributor was taking all of the pressure.

will do once I get a chance, I don't have the tester?

could the oil leak by the oil pump/crank pulley cause fuel to leak into the crank case?

I would check this first, this is what i think is happening.
