pressure under oil cap....

[Curtoise]

just wondering if it is normal to have abit of pressure under the oil cap,
on my 1.6 it was really puffing out untill i realised the oil was overfull.... so i drained some out and now its not so bad, but still abit puffy :thumb:

have you checked the breather pipe is clear?

make sure all the pipes are clear bud or you may have a breath on wrong somewhere

checked a few of them and one was pretty clogged from when the head gasket went.

[swedge]

probably the reason then, blocked breathers can give excessive pressure and it isnt good for the engine

Yeah I bet its not, I will have to look in the haynes manual to find where they all are

main one comes from beside the dipstick from the crankcase
