do a compression test, you might be getting to much blowby from worn rings if it's not a pcv issue. or you might just need a new dip stick. if you blow out a new dip stick your engine is probably due for a rebuild

I replaced my PCV valve and that solved the issue. Thanks guys.
Also cleaned up the engine bay a little, looks alot better IMO.

Yea... I've learned that. I noticed I'm leaking a good bit of oil from my oil pump housing today. It hasn't done that since I've owned it. I need to get under there and check that shit out. There's always gonna be something wrong with it.

mine has been leaking from there since the beginning of time. when I took out the balance shafts I replaced ALL the seals on that side of the motor and it still leaks. I'm pretty sure now it's where the turbo drains meets the oil pan and it makes it's way over there. check your turbo oil drain, they always leak on these cars.

Thanks, I need to check it out. I took a peak under and it looks like it's coming from one of the allen bolts that goes into the oil filter housing. I'll know for sure soon enough, wish it wasn't a 100 degrees out!
