Leaking Sump... thinking lack of crankcase venting
Hey everyone,
I've got a B20B with a b16a gearbox and have swapped it into my EK. It had a leaking sump gasket which I replaced. When I just drove around town, its fine! But if I drive it on the highway or at the track... It leaked again! So I replaced it again (thinking I may have installed it wrong) and still have the same problem!
I haven't had a chance to take the gearbox off to find out if its the rear main seal yet. But I thought if it was, wouldn't it leak during normal city driving aswell? Thats where I'm starting to think maybe the tiny PCV valve isn't doing enough and could be time for a breather tank or something?
After any thoughts or ideas! Cheers!
