When i pull the oil filler cap off of my newly acquired 240 SX, i get a bit of air pressure and dots of oil on my glasses

PCV valve ?

Worn valves ?

Normal ?

Thanks

It sounds like the PCV is bad.It's job is to ventilate Positive Crankcase perssure. You should replace it A.S.A.P or gaskets will start to go (like valve cover.)

It's not that difficult to replace, just a pain in the *** to get to.
