I chaged my oil yesterday and everything seemed normal but my car keeps blowing out the pvc valve and I get a coolant smell at idle from the engine. I sometimes get a white vapor out of the oil filler neck when idling. But I don't think The head gasket is bad because there was no water in the oil. But I did have just a tiny slick of oil in the radiator when I removed the cap. Also have some metal flecks in the radiator but I was thinking they where from my rebuild. I don't think the guy who rebuilt my engine scrubbed it up after it was machined. What do u guys think? I'm gonna do a compression check soon to see if that checks out. The heads are o-ringed by the way and I have not been on the car hard only about 5000 miles since the rebuild. Oil did look a lil muddy though maybe I do have water.
