I am having a problems with oil filling up the intake galley on my 98 SOHC.
I just replaced the tensioner kit from Ford that big black bolt thing and my upper and lower intake gaskets.
The truck seems to run just fine, but I noticed it leaking oil while it was running it seemed to be leaking a lot on to the ground just recently. Yet, I check the oil level and it is full.
I took the upper and lower intake manifold back off and there is oil around the upper and lower intake gaskets and the Intake galley is full of oil.
I can't really see why it would be getting oil in the galley. The area where I cleaned the intake runners, and around the right valve cover are super clean still nothing seems to be leaking in that area.
The oil leak seems to be coming from the front and back of the motor, but this is with the galley full I would imagine.
Could oil be leaking that much out of the intake gaskets to fillup and over flow the galley in a month of driving? or could there be another reason?
It was bone dry and clean before the tensioner and gaskets replacement.
Do you think it could be the PCV valve?
I have noticed that it is getting worse gas mileage about 13 mpg when it used to get about 16-18 hwy and 14-15 city.
