I wasn't suggesting that you have side seal issues Steve.  I'm sure you don't.   I was joking about how mine blew oil out of the vent after I trashed the engine by losing all the oil.  I definitely have side seal issues :-)

 

When you mentioned side seals, I thought that is was a possibility.  You never know what can happen sometimes.  It definitely was not happy thoughts.

 

BTW, I sent my oil analysis off to have it checked.  I figured it would be a good experiment to see if they can find something this obvious :-)

 

If it comes back normal, you may as well forget future oil analysis.
