Well for now it is a happy ending I had the car running for about 20 minutes and there was no sign of oil. I hope the problem is finally fixed :party:

Lots of those around here.

Loose bolts sink ships, or something like that.

are you suggesting there is pressure at the bottom of the oil pan?

maybe when upside down?

nitrodann 05-15-2013 09:14 AM
Yes I am. This is why we have breathers, and seeing as this is miata TURBO im going to guess that the pan gets pressurized many times per minute in traffic.

Dann

are you being fucking serious right now?

nitrodann 05-15-2013 09:25 AM
Absolutely, to say that there is NO pressure in there is just silly.

yeah, my oil drain is actually my feed. I was just testing you.

nitrodann 05-15-2013 09:50 AM
There is less pressure than that which the oil pump produces. This means that there is zero pressure.

I know.

/sarcasm.

Yeah I would say if the pcv valve is questionable, and some pressure sneaks by under boost, the bottom end can definitely see positive pressures.

Both ports are vented to atmosphere

Time to change your sig line to "Found and Fixed Leak" with happy face!!

Let Brain and Nitro duke it out on their own.
