I've developed a smoking issue that I'm having trouble figuring out. At idle I'm puffing smoke and revving in park blows out more. I'm sure it's oil smoke but I can't determine the source. At first I thought maybe something went south with the engine but I have solid 180s compression on all cylinders. The rear passenger spark plug has some significant carbon buildup on it.
I also thinking it could be something with the pcv system. The car had an RJC heavy duty pcv inline with the stocker but it caused major lean idle conditions so I removed it. I tried putting it back in today but it still smokes. I think I'm seeing oil puddling in the intake and the pcv port on the vacuum block has had oil in it.
Revving in park sometimes causes puffs of smoke to come out of the valve cover breathers as well.
What have I got going on here? Why would I suddenly be drawing excess oil through the pcv? Could it be something else? Thanks in advance.
