if worse comes to worse I would say easy check is to open ecu and check for any leaks out of the capacitors. blue smoke is a clear sign of leaky caps.

Yesterday I took the Ecu to check for leaky capacitors I found that my car must have been partying and drinking.

Literally a puddle of water under the carpet!
gonna open up the Ecu today to double check but I didn't smell that fishy smell at all

ECU turned out fine nothing at all was leaking

I'm leaning towards a bad PCV sooo on to the oil catch can questions

What are you guys doing with the nipple on the intake itself




Just ordered a catch can with a breather on top and will be placing it in the charcoal canisters location

If nobody answered, I will take a peek at my extra fittings and let you know. I had to replace my rear lines 2 years ago.

I just read this whole thing through, some great info in here. I couldn't believe that crusty white stuff in the head, my guess would have been coolant or some cheap gasket goo that melted away, who knows. What did you end up doing for your catch can? Did you ever get insurance involved to find that hit and run driver?

I'll go snap a pic of my catch can setup and you know what,I honestly just let the hit and run go. I've finally made up my mind and I'm just going to have to let the ol SC go go

























And buy another one in spring and swap over all my crap
