Thanks again guys..............ok, went thru my paperwork..............on the 2nd rebuild they used Total Seal CR069065 rings..............on the re-ring last year they used Hastings 2M552965 rings...........not sure what the deal is on these when i looked up on summit says not gapless.................but i do remember the guy saying he uses gapless rights, doesnt matter thats what in the car right now.

Will try a leakdown again, i have a cheapy set, half the time i cant even get it in the plug hole right.............might have to take it in to a pro shop for that.

Got rid of the rubber grommets i had in there...............curious any better filters i can get besides the cheapys i have now.

Took the car out awhile ago, slapped that puppy up to 5500 or so thru 2 gears, so far about 10 minutes after i got home, 2 small drops, will check in the morning again.......i should have cleaned out the inspection cover before doing this................yeah, too lazy to crawl under the car.

Per Mike, im gonna get a smoke machine....................just a quick question, are you able to tell if the smoke comes out by the oil pan bend in the back compared to a rear main seal leak..............looks like there pretty close.

Will look into that wagner pcv valve............little spendy but im wasting way more money trying every pcv in exsistence.................the bulters pcv valve wasnt excately cheap either...........lol

Any other ways to test if your pcv system isnt up to par.............im pretty sure my hose isnt the issue, i can run a q-tip in the hose, maybe a hair of oil in it, but thats it.

I do appreciate all the help i get from you guys.............i will get this oil leaking fixed one way or the other.
