oil blows out
hi im new to dodge ram truck stuff.well question is truck ran good till month ago.oil gauge kept bouncing from 40-0 i checked oil an was full.then few days later blew oil alover passanger side engine.i cleaned motor an put oil in it,ran motor an never leaked anywere.i replaced the oil pressure sending unit in back of motor,ran motor an still bouncing from 40-0 checked oil an full.well today it decided to blow oil again allover same side.Can anyone help me out please,plus seems im loosing power.truck is a 95 ram 1500 5.2 4x4
thats the prob,we cleaned motor,an let run for an hour watched for leak,an nothn,i no id drips lil from oil pan but thats it.gona clean it again tomarow an watch again for leaks.its allover front passanger side of motor from valve cover down.i can let u no more tomarow,if i find leak thanx
what about the valve cover gasket? i found i was leaking oil on the drivers side of mine when i first bougt it. figured the valve cover gasket was bad...but when i took it off, i could take out the bolts by hand they were not tight...replaced gaskets anyways and torqued down, no more leaks.
then i found that with these trucks its best to re-torque the valve covers every oil change for the bolts work themselves to be loose again.
or you could have a really bad plenum gasket and bad intake gaskets causing oil to sprew out...but i doubt this

without loctite on the valve cover bolts, they will get loose in a short period of time. on mine, my dads and my sisters trucks there were 5 bolts on each cover that were loose.
i'd clean or replace PCV. its supposed to allow any pressure to escape and pipe it through the intake and burn it.
some year's PCV is on drivers side and some is on passenger side
