My wife was complaining recently of smelling unburned hydrocarbons somewhere near the car. Checking it over this morning, I discovered that combustion blowby is so extreme there's an actual breeze coming out the oil fill cap with the engine at idle!
I should really change the oil the next time I have time when the weather's okay, so it'll smell better then, but does it sound right to have so much blowby in the first place?
The car has about 78k miles and just recently started seeming a little peppier than when it was new, as if maybe it was finally getting broken in.
