blow by contaminates in oil pan? HELP PLEASE

[vancem3m3]

I was changing my oil pan gasket today and when i dropped the oil pan i saw that over on the tranny side of the oil pan there was a whittish discoloration kind of like you would see if you had a blown head gasket but it wasnt everywhere in the oil i was wondering if it could be blow by contaminates, because it looked like it could have drained from my breather system. This is a boosted car and i know im getting blow by i just want to make sure what it is.

Take your valve cover off and check to see if the discoloration is there.

Does your car always get fully warmed up when driving or do you often do short commutes? It may just be from condensation...

Short drives are bad. engines need to run for atleast 10 minutes to burn off condensation. Pics would also help

took it off it looked good

do you have one of those retarded valve cover breather filters? those are a big no no. ESPECIALLY on a boosted car. on a NA car, having that tube replaced with a 'breather' filter doesnt allow blow by contaminants to be sucked back into the combustion chamber by intake vaccuum. they will sit in the bottom of your crank case and blow by will have to force its way out in the form of oil seepage out of the so called breather filter. on a boosted car the problem is only worse.

only way to solve this is with a PROPER catch can setup. look into it.



this is what im referring to. you should not have this. nor should anyone. they are a giant waste of money for people unwilling to do research.
