What is causing pressure to build up in an engine? I have a friend with 84 Short bed Chevy and he is loosing oil. He thinks it is coming out of the dipstick/right side, there is oil on his wires. He has changed the valve cover caskets and the sending unit. He pulled the dust cover underneath and it is dry there so the rear main seal is not leaking.

I told him to check the PCV by feeling if there is suction at the bottom of the PCV while the engine is running, if not replace it!

Thanks
