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? -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

QUOTE (RabidTRD @ Jan 22, 2012 - 4:22 PM)  Oil on the bottom of the boot can be from a bad seal on the base of the sparkplug tube, or the gasket up top could be allowing a bit to eep over the top of the tube and down the walls. The seal up top (where the valve cover nuts go) was practically gone (I could pick out a chunk of rubber). So I got all 4 new seals and a new valve cover gasket. I'll be doing that soon. What should I do to remove the oil on the spark plug? Let it burn out of the system naturally? -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
