Default oil inthe air filter

With the engine running, pull the oil filler cap off the engine. Is the engine puffing pressurized vapors from the hole? If so, some of the compression that ususlly pushes the pistons down during combustion is escaping past the worn rings and into the engine sump. The resultant pressure pushes oil laden fumes into the air filter via a hose connection to the valve cover. Unfortunately the fix doesn't come in a can.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley6.gif border="0">
