Saw this for a stang. Are u sure it drains back in. this one u unscrew the bottom and discard the few ounces. U could then top up thru the oil fill.

We have NEVER seen this issue on the Camaros, this is the first I have heard of it. Can you please give me a call tomorrow to discuss this further?

BozFour · 06-23-2010, 09:47 PM

Ok guys... think I'm getting closer to fixing this problem!!! MAYBE.... I found out that on this barb sticking out of the valve cover on the drivers side at the back that is blanked off from factory is not a PCV valve!!!! Its just a barb sticking up out of the valve cover... I bought a in line PCV valve from the local parts store & put it in line... The first time I put it in (dumb me) I put it in backwards there was no smoke at all.... But it threw the engine light on and flashed a code Fuel rail system on Bank 1 & 2 LEAN so I reset it. Switched PCV valve around the proper way and after driving it a while then stopping for a bit....when I started it it didn't smoke 1/2 as bad..... So my next question is.... who can tell me if there is a baffle underneath this barb on the valve cover???? How much clearance is there underneath there to weld one in if there is not one???? And do you think that will stop the oil from being sucked up by the vac. pressure????

Be sure to read this thread... Also the last thing you want is the Oil from the catch can draining back into the motor.

The inside of the exshaust tips are black with soot! I have been watching antifreeze & oil they dont seem to be going down.... Supercharger was installed by a certified GM dealer & a mechanic of 20 years so I do have confidense that it was done correctlly... You could compare the smoke to smoke off tires (looks very simular)....I got a SCT programmer with supercharger & the car is programed to to the Camaro Manual setting... Fuel Iam using is 91 octane.. If anyone cant help me I will greatly appeciate it!!!!! The Power thou seems to be good. Driving car around town & short trips it doesnt seem to smoke on start ups..

White smoke is oil not fuel.
Just wondering if it's oil leaking onto your exhaust from the rear of the valve covers.
