Well thanks to you guys I finally ordered an endoscope so thanks for that. Following to see where the oil is coming from. I’m betting the pressure sensor.

Endoscope will come in handy next time you are doing naked mechanic work.

I bought one of these a little while ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZH9P8QH/

Handy little bugger!


I have used it for many things,

inspecting cylinders of a new to me riding mower (v twin).

Sticking into a wall in my house while trying to figure out why the F i couldn't get a new external faucet to thread into the pipe.
Found out the installer decided to do a shit job soldering directly into the pipe for an unknown reason, resulting in me having to cut a bit square on the inside half of the wall so i could solder a threaded end onto the pipe...
I would have been lost with out that tool!



And most recently, replacing the pressure sensor and screen, was unable to get the screen out.
Used the scope to see if i even had one in there.
Saw the image showing me a Yup!

Handy!

Just to follow up this, I changed out the valve cover and put in a range device before we took a long trip last weekend. After about 1,200 miles of driving, it appears that the oil loss/consumption is barely noticeable if existent at all. No oil spots around the valve cover and no drips at plug 7. I also really like having 8 cylinders at all times. Can tell a big difference in responsiveness.

I used the one I bought on Amazon for about $16 or $18 and was able to watch my sensor leak under pressure. Just clean it off good beforehand. I also used it to check out the cylinders on on of my motorcycles. They take great pics!
