 oil spills everywhere wassup guys, i need some help figuring out where all this oil is coming from, ive tried looking it up but couldnt find it, i have a 1990 eagle talon tsi awd and every time i would go out like to go get gas or go to store ect.. and when i come back home and open up the hood i see oil all over the valve cover and also forms like a little puddle, and it also looks like something splashes the oil everywhere, i cant seem to figure out where its coming from

Re: oil spills everywhere Try replacing your pcv valve with a new one. A new oil cap and oil Dioscuri wouldn't hurt either since it's fairly inexpensive.

Re: oil spills everywhere I think you should clean your engine bay and have it tell you exactly where the oil is coming from.

Re: oil spills everywhere just replaced the valve cover, did an oil change and took it out for a spin and no oil spill what so ever, so it was the valve cover, thanks again for all the help guys
