Air Cleaner

Why is oil accumulating inside my air cleaner cover?

I have clean oil inside my air cleaner, what gives? There’s also a film of oil on the right inner fender where the intake for the air cleaner cover points like is belching oil out of it. The engine is a stock 350ci V8 in a 1973 Monte Carlo.

Your crankcase-breather lets excess pressure vent into the air-cleaner, where the oil vapour should be sucked through the carb and be burnt by the engine. If you are accumulating oil there, it points to an excess of blow-by pressure, and it may be time for a new set of rings (Dude, if that engine is original, it’s 37 years old!) or maybe a re-bore and larger set of pistons.

Please, email me a photo of this fine beast? I live in the UK, but I love chunky American cars! nelkyopel@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks!
