I've searched around, cant find anyone with my exact situation here but maybe I'm wrong. Anywho, 1995 LS b18b1. I'm running turbo, (low boost). I just noticed that the breather on the back of the valve cover seems to be turning black with oil over time. It was fine all last year (ran the whole year, no work done or added parts). This year I went to break her out for the season and its been out, maybe two or three times. Noticed the blackness on a red breather. Elected to change it.
Got a new red one, after 3 or 4 times out, its black again. NOW, I notice that I have oil coming down the front corner of the head, and more recently noticed (2 days ago) blue smoke upon idle but it comes and goes and is not heavy smoke (yet). So I'm thinking that problem there is a head gasket and I've been referred to go multi layer steel, not Fel pro which I have had in there.
Is the breather oil leak/burn related to this issue? Or is this something on its own?
