Hey everyone, so my 5th gen celica has been leaking oil from the dipstick out for a while now. My worry is that it is a bad piston ring. However:

1. The PCV wasn't even there, and its vacuum was plugged.

2. Positive Crankcase Ventilation hose was clogged too. [hose below]


-I have replaced the PCV and removed the plug from the crank case hose.

-I turned the car on but couldn't take it for a spin, but for the while it was on it didn't spew any oil out.

-There is no weird noises coming from the engine at all.

Valve seals? Piston rings? The rubber on the dipstick is missing a chunk on the very bottom of it, too. There was oil on the boot of spark plug #1 (one closest to the dist) No oil on the rest.

Any ideas?

with no ventilatin of the crankcase the normal blowby will cause oil/gasses to escase elsewhere (seals, gaskets, etc)
