While I was driving I noticed that my car started feeling a little funny. When I came to a stop I noticed that it felt like it was running on only one rotor, during acceleration and while at a stop. So I pulled over and check out what it is, pulled out the dipstick to see if oil and water are mixing, opened the radiator cap to see if there was some blowby going into the coolant. Then I started it up and noticed it was spitting a lot of blowby out the dipstick tube, but at the same time the cars no smoking at all.

Now I figure the oil seals might have blown or something to cause the blowby, but if that were the case wouldn't it be burning an excessive amount of oil at the same time or at least smoke a little while the engine is running?

Anything else that could go out that would cause excessive blowby but no smoking and cause the car to run like crap?

Also another thing I let it sit for maybe about an hour and a half and started it up, and strangely it still had a slight miss but not as bad as the feeling like it's running on only one rotor. It actually got just a little better. I'll let it sit over night and see what the results are.

Any ideas though?

 

what is blowby?

 

No idea but for two days I've been curious...

How does one get out of a warmed up car and pull the rad cap without blowing coolant all over the place?
