I need some help on this one!!! PLEASE!!

Ok well let me start of by saying this, i have noticed an oil leak here lately, but not a common one! I noticed the valve cover on my car was leaking oil out of the oil cap....well i went got a new cap, STILL DOES IT! i noticed my line coming off of the valve cover to the air intake was leaking, it SOAKED my Air fliter!! put new filter on and plugged the line, still blows oil out of the cap! WTF??? anybody have any ideas on this one?? i noticed it started when i fouled a plug, it did it some before that, but got worse, then i fixed the plugs, and it still sounds like i have a slight miss, but it might be because i have a little exhaust leak....i dunno help me out here.

Why was the PCV blocked? You may have blown a gasket somewhere. Odd about the oil cap though....

well the thing was it was blowing oil into my intake, and soaking my air filter with oil......so i blocked both the intake and the PCV to see if that fixed it, and nope it didnt, so i put it back to how it was and it blows oil out of the cap, and into the intake still.

Blow-by = bad piston rings. When air from the coombustion chambers blows through the rings into the crankcase, thus pressurizing it.

If you have blow-by in one of your cylinders, it could definitely cause it to fire weak, or not at all.

You should do a compression/leakdown test (or pay a shop to do it.) Something tells me that w/ all those mods, a dealership will just laugh at you if you ask about a warranty.
