    Looks like trouble

    On my way home from work I noticed that the g was losing power and struggling to get up to 60, needless to say I was praying to just make it home and this is what I saw. No smoke, but I did have weird smell, I was going to change my front cat and crank position sensor It looks like one them got me.









    Oh yeah some asshat broke my hood too

    Oil everywhere? Check your PCV valve, looks like crankcase pressure buildup. Hate to say this, but no power and oil everywhere indicates ring sealing issues if it's not just a PCV issue. It's happened to me on multiple occasions.

    Check that, but if it's gone, it's just more reason to believe there is something up with your PCV system or with your rings. The dipstick shouldn't ever blow out. Now if somebody took it, it would explain the mess.

    you sure that oil cap fits on right? I was going to get one of those but it was not tight enough.

    It was secure, I will change back to stock when I get home because it looks like rubber is finished on the Injen cap. My oil stick was there

    It looks like a massive amount of blowby blew past the seal on your oil cap. This isn't normal. Like I said, check the PCV system and you should probably do a compression test. This is very basic stuff... PCV is just a maintenance item. Do you even know the condition of the PCV valve? Check these things before moving on. There could be a pretty major underlying problem.

    I ditched my Injen oil cap, I dont think it was secure, plus the rubber ring around the cap deteriated. Check that out on yours.
    Love,

    Seriously no, does anyone have a pic of the pcv value location?
    I guess the g got jealous because I was checking out a Passant at the dealer yesterday
