Over filled you oil?

Could be a sign your engine is on its way out if excessive amounts. Would mean your piston rings are going.

how much oil are we talking about?

could be a tight turn you did and spit a bit of oil.

could also be exesive breathing by the engine making oil come out.. normalu ringlands gone.

any sign of smoke comeing out of the breather/dip stick ?

cleand it and found oil again? or was it a one time only?

If you gave the engine a beating beforehand by revving high and boosting then sometimes it does spit oil out of the breather.

If it does it continously out the breather on boost or whenever, do a compression test as it would most likely be piston ring failure.

As Dave mentioned, get a DIY compression tester from Halfrauds (Give it back once your done!) and you take the measurement from where the spark plug goes.

Make sure to remove your efi fuse aswell!

and just to add with this.. make sure its WOT so press the gas padle fully, and crank it for a few seconds and get back with the readings :)

Check if your ht leads are pushed down aswell, I found a little bit of oil on the rocker cover aswell due to the ht leads

think i am going to do a compression test just to see how things are not having any problems just want to kno

what readings should all the pistons be?? healthness?

i watched the video and kno if both pistons are the same readings anything between 40 it could be head gasket etc

@legend - should be about 160 all across all four (mine were) and like one or two differences in psi but any drastic drops may need further investingation

@Kow - its a black square fuse inside the engine bay fuse box
