oil leak from rear top of motor with more boost
 
i currently went to a smaller pulley to gain roughly another 4 lbs of boost. when i went on a test drive, it was dark and couldn't resist to try it out. there is oil coming from the rear of the motor somewhere to get on the headers for smoke and smell. it's been raining all day and will be for a few more. anyone have this problem or any ideas what it might be when i get a chance to look? thanks for any info

The added pressure to the system will spit oil out at all avail weak spots, most likely coming out of the PCV though. Are you monitoring your a/f ratio?

no, haven't got to setting up anything to monitor flow rates yet. any suggestions? i did open up the oil cap to an open cap, and that did the trick. thanks

Get one that has a digital output for a reading, they are easier for tuning and more detailed.
