Still Stumped... 850 1995 T-5R

posted by  someone claiming to be Jonathan Dunlap on  Thu Mar 29 12:36 CST 2001 [RELATED]

1995 T-5R (A fun little turbo)....

I posted about 2 weeks ago about excess crankcase pressure which seems to be causing a rear main seal leak and small amounts of oil to come spewing out my dipstick. Even though its a turbo, some people on the board suggested I clean out my throttle body and everything associated with it. I've done this today. The throttle body was dirty, but all of the associated breather lines were very clean, and their elbows were all very pliable and intact. I put the whole thing back together. Degreased the entire engine, and then opened her up.

Same problem, I still have the problem. After 30 minutes of good hard driving, there's oil falling down the dipstick tube and spattered on the fuel rail. My rear main seal also shows some seeping.

What can cause this. Somebody suggested water/condensation in my oil, but I'm not quite understanding that theory. Being that my car has 79,000 miles I find it hard to believe that my rings are too worn and causing blow-by, but is this my only option left?

Any help anybody could give would be greatly appreciated,

~Jonathan
