Does anyone have any idea why an Avanti R2 would be spraying excessive oil out of the passenger side engine compartment? It's litterally spraying the entire lower engine including the passenger side right front tire and wheel with oil. It doesn't appear to be leaking anywhere so much, just spraying oil when driven. It appears to be coming out of the dipstick tube believe it or not. I used about a half a quart of oil in 85 miles today driving it around in a combination of city and highway driving. This is a just acquired car with 78,000 original miles that had been sitting alot of the time before it was acquired. Any suggestions by anyone? Any help or ideas or where to look would be greatly appreciated before I really tear into it. I'm wondering if something is plugged up, I'm soaking the oil filler caps in karosene and letting them sit for the night at present, not sure if that could cause the problem or not.
Thanks, Everett
