Why Is Oil Spilling out of my EGR Port
On my 87 na, I switched to mindtrain headers and when I changed back to pass smog, oil was spilling out of the egr port for the manifold. Does anyone know why this is doing this or how I could fix it?

Are you SURE it's oil? I can't imagine how oil could enter those ports. Unless you have a failure of the RTV seal between the rotor housings. In that case, oil could come up from the pan.

Yeah its engine oil. You know the small port on the exhaust side of the engine? It is coming out of there, like about a pint or two came out. How else could I tell if the RTV seal is bad? This kind of boogles the mind because I thought that there should only be exhaust in that port, no oil? Makes me mad.
