P pcb The Diagram Dude : 2002 MP5 Feb 2, 2020 #81 You need to burn off the oil and do the test over. Verify that the pistons are dry before the test.
P pcb The Diagram Dude : 2002 MP5 Feb 2, 2020 #83 Valve seals and stuck oil rings goes out the exhaust. Leaks are a separate issue.
Spencer_P : 2003 Mazda Protege5 Feb 2, 2020 #85 But I'm more worried about the leak than I am the burning
P pcb The Diagram Dude : 2002 MP5 Feb 2, 2020 #86 Spray it down and clean it with engine cleaner then you can trace the leak
P pcb The Diagram Dude : 2002 MP5 Feb 2, 2020 #87 A leak from the valve cover isn't a big deal a leak from the head gasket is worse
Spencer_P : 2003 Mazda Protege5 Feb 2, 2020 #88 I don't think it's the valve cover everything looks clean enough around that...
P pcb The Diagram Dude : 2002 MP5 Feb 2, 2020 #89 Engine cleaner makes everything look dry then it's easy to find the wet spot. Your oil looks black too so it's easier to see.

Spencer_P : 2003 Mazda Protege5 Feb 2, 2020 #90 It's supposed to be in the 60s again tomorrow so maybe I'll clean everything up
Spencer_P : 2003 Mazda Protege5 Feb 3, 2020 #92 Am I correct that this is the driver's side (left) control arm? https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3444117&jsn=20620&jsn=20620
