Oil being forced out of cambox cover??

[MK4_20VT]

As the title suggests, what do you think could be the cause.

the engine has just been rebuilt, with a 2.0L 8v bottom end, here are my thoughts....

1.  The oil pump is a high pressure one & is forcing the oil out
2.  The breathers have been blocked off in the block & this is causing mass back pressure
3   The rings have gone in the bottom end (but it doesn't smoke at all  )

p.s. the oil being forced out of the cambox is ending up on the mainifold & burning NICE!

more likely a knacked rocker cover gasket, check the thread rubjonny stuck up about the mk3 style one that can be bought from vw for about a tenner.

I'm on my 2nd gasket sadly & the oil is only forced out when the oil filler cap is on

Breathers aint blocked are they or put in wrong? They will have to have ahd some sort of breather fitted to engine or it will just find the easiest way to blow out the oil. Breather i usually vented from block to air filter box. What they said 84_mk2? I was actually speaking to mark from dubsport today get both NOS bottles refilled on the clio 172 cup.

I found out that TSR has blocked to breather from the block, so the only breather I had was from the cambox  So they are going to take the plate off the block & attach them my.  Apparently you use the mk2 16v breather pipes from the block.

So I was currently driving my missus fiesta until the clutch pedal gave way

What colour is the engine block in your car?

[rubjonny]

well the std MK2 8v only has the breater on the rocker cover?  If you wanted to use the one on the front you could get the 2.0 8v breather pipes & fit the rocker cover as well, this is what I'm planning to do

Shaft69 my engine block is silver 

Dubsport are going to attach the breather pipes from the block.  I don't understand why TSR would put a blanking plate on the block?

Could the blanking plate only be used for digi 8v's & not K-jet 8v's ? 

[rubjonny]

all the 1.8 blocks have this hole blanked over

All tsr blocks are blue so they poss painted it also check engine number will have tsr own number on it starting with tsr then the numbers. Just would check dont them to tell you it's tsr when its not!!! I dont trust them up there at all.
