Ok, im getting tired of my car! Solo...past few days no problem, and the oil decides to chill in the pan like a good petroleum product...BUT. Today, after running it...it got hot (220 running, damn traffic), so oil psi @ 2,000 was between 35-40, no concern. Never went under 10 at idle, so nothin new...but, after checking it (After a few hours, at 140), it reads 1/2 quart low...so I started it...and looked at my plugs. Number 8 had a wee puddle of oil around it, so pulled the plug. No fouling...apparently, only a bit of "grime" around the very base...but how did I notice? It was bubbling...around the plug. So I just tightened it back up and haven't messed with it yet. I'm really fed up with this.

The only out of them ordinary thing? When picking up my girlfriend from school, I turned the car off for about 5 minutes, when inturned it back on, a beautiful smoke plume attacked the people behind me....from my pipe...it went away and off I went. Back to question number 1...do valves need to seat, or is something blatantly wrong?
