Engine Blowby?
Hey Fella's, I've got an issue on my 85 460. I've got a lot of blowby! I haven't done a compression check but how I can tell is around the oil filler cap & pcv grommet it always leaves a lot of oil after everytime I drive it. O just changed the oil to Shell Rotella T 15w-40, I was running Valvoline Max Life 10W-30. Is there any additive that I can add to the oil to help this, (short of rebuilding the engine)? It's not smoking or fouling the plugs either. Any suggestions would help?

There really isn't anything you can do short of a rebuild. Do the compression test. If it's still acceptable pressures and they are even, then I'd live with it. If the pressures are varied, or way low on a couple of cylinders, prepare for rebuild....
