1998 Curore - 847cc engine - OIL EVERYWHERE!

Forum: 

Hiya,

Not really sure what's going on now, so think best to post it for some other opinions.

This relates to the cuore and has the 3 cylinder 847cc engine. (1998 model)

Hadn't looked under the bonnet for maybe a month, and when I did to my horror, there was oil everywhere! Couldn't really locate where but somewhere around top of engine.....

Rocker gasket I thought....so bought a new one and fitted it. Next day after driving, oil is back everywhere....seemed to be coming from the oil filler cap?!?!

Thought the breather pipe might be blocked, so I made sure the little pipe on top of the rocker was clear and now is ust venting to atmosphere. Where the pipe went into the throttle body, I have blocked that off.

I did fit a cone filter on it a little while ago and the venting oil pipe half way down block now goes into an oil catch tank.

Anyway, after doing all this thought it would cure the cuore (hehe)

But checked today and....fresh oil near the oil filler cap dripped everywhere...

is there still to much pressure in engine? is something k-nackered?

help and thanks

p.s. forgot to mention, the car doesn't overheat etc, still drives okay (other than a bit of kangerooing sometimes)
