I was driving along the freeway, and some good Samaritan waves to me and says YOU BLEW A GASKET! I just did an oil change on the vehicle not an hour ago and everything seemed ok. No lights, no warnings, all temperatures looked ago. I pulled off the freeway at the next exit and i start to see smoke billowing out of the hood. I pull over and see OIL everywhere on the passenger side of my engine bay. I checked the cap, and it didnt seem loose at all. I was thinking to myself OOOH CRAP so I called a flatbed and brought her and myself home.
Upon getting home, I take a look around. The dipstick still reads full. I pull off the plenum cover, and theres a little bit of oil on the inside. I did a quick search and people say it's either the oil cap not seated on or failing, or the vanos lines backing up. What do you guys think? Is there anything else i should check for? Is the oil pressure coming out of that cap that high to make its way underneath the plenum cover?
