ok well my friend has a soch vtec zc engine in his hatch. we were about to pour some sea foam in his engine (while car was on) and it just spat it back out. i put my hand over the hole and there was a good bit of air coming out. ive never seen this before. i called a friend of mine and asked what that could mean and i was told it could possibly be compression escaping due to bad rings. is that the only reason this could happen or could it be something else? thanks to everyone in advance!

Lol. So its normal for a lot of air to be coming out of there? I knw there are moving parts inside but I've never felt air come out like that from my car. the car also burns oil and when he gets on it sometimes at idle blue smoke comes out of his exhaust.

Lol again my bad. I posted this up as fast as I could before class so kinda rushed it. So with that said, could it more than likely be bad rings ?

or valve stem seals comp test to narrow it down.
