Gluing the hoses isn't a terrible idea, but I'm not sure where exactly the leak is coming from. If its coming between the hoses (where the junction box should be) then I don't think this would work. If its coming between the core and the hose then it should. Did you get the aftermarket core or the OEM one from FCP? I wonder if the hole is slightly big making the o-ring fail faster.

How are you sealing the firewall between the engine and the passenger compartment? Have you checked the engine side for leaks? You added dye to the coolant right, I don't believe it will show up with just antifreeze.


Your PCV puzzles me, the oil coming up is too much, but it just seems like there's too much vapors coming out. How? Well not sure. You use mobil 1, but what grade, have you switched to a lighter weight? Did you do any cleaning of the passageway between the oil separator and the block? Thats where the gunk builds up the most (as its where the heavier oil goes). I wonder if a clog there is forcing everything through the intake. A pipe cleaner to really get at the passageway followed with an oil change (IIRC it goes straight in then drops off into the oil pan) might solve it. Taking it apart (and killing 5-6 hours) sucks but hopefully thats it. If there's no clog, I'm thinking bad news.

Your car shouldn't be burning more than a pint per 1000 miles. Though consumption rates go up if you drive in mountainous regions (in Long Island :-))/tow/hard cornering/lots of traffic/high-revving.

You sure you're burning the oil aka you're not seeing any leak, right?
