smoke into car....Longish.
Ok guys this story is kinda long.
l8ly my car has been blowing smoke into the cab of my car. i think through the floor through a plug i removed for amp wires.
only does it if i punch it 6-8k or if im in 5th 3K+and go WOT.
now it blew the cam seal apart the other day so i changed those and stoped that oil leak. when sitting still idling only leak i found is a drop or 2 from the rear main after a long time of running.
things i've done.
I've put a new oil filter on cause i changed oil 2weeks ago kinda when it started this
New O-ring on breather box week or so ago might been when this started dont remember.
I've had put a new pcv valve on but i put the old one back on just to see
new cam seals
NOW. kid before me put a 2layer spoon head gasket on it and its always kinda smoked out the back when in vtec. but nothing like this. i dont have water in the oil or vise versa. but im thinking maybe the head gasket. cause that oil gallery that feeds the head runs on the backside of the motor if im correct and maybe when its under a load its pushing it out the back of the motor but i just dont see it coming from up top anywheres.
a compression test and leak down test prolly be done tomorrow after work. im planning on putting a new head gasket and my ctr head on it cause i know its good has all new valve stem seals and been resurfaced.
any info is highly appreciated on what else it could be. i jsut dont see alot of oil coming from anywhere but its deff something.

i may have fixed it so far seems like its fixed. Oring on the air breather box. was alot thinner than the one of my ls motor. so i swapped them out and so far seemed to work. i had put oil dye in it but there was dye already in the car from before i think and its everywhere
