88 NA burning oil
Hello everyone, my 944 2.5L NA has been burning quite a lot of oil. When I’m at full throttle and under high load, I can see a lot of white/blue smoke coming from the exhaust (and through the shifter area since my leather boot is cracked).
Here is what I've done and found so far:
- I changed the AOS o-rings, including the inner one.
- My AOS upper venting line is brand new.
- I ran a hot compression test and every cylinder is excellent (above 175 psi), so the piston rings should be fine.
- However, I found a pool of oil in my airbox.
- My spark plugs have heavy white/gray ash fouling, confirming the oil from the intake is being burned in the cylinders.
I can’t figure out what could cause this massive oil blowback into the intake since my compression is great. Could the AOS drain tube to the oil pan be clogged? Or is there a baffle missing in the oil pan?
Does anyone have any idea of where to look next?
Here are some pics of the sparks plugs too.
