Leaking from somewhere. Clean everything, start it up, and find where it's coming from.

Cant be hard to find, make sure your oil cap is on, I test drove my ZC once after a valve adj and just assumed I left the cap on the valve cover....nope, oil was everywhere....

Just get under there and look, cant be hard to miss.

Just curious but if your rings are fried then how is the oil getting all inside your engine bay? <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 91_civicsi &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">dumbass</TD></TR></TABLE>

Wait wait, my crystal ball is coming into view....................

damn lost it, sorry, I can't tell where the leak is coming from.

If you just rebuilt the motor, you are just going to have to take a look yourself, some of the places it could be leaking are:

-cam seals, front main seal, oil pump housing, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, head gasket.

Sheesh....
