Ah... Two oil issues.

The leak is my vacume pump no sealing properly against my alternator. I've checked the lines etc. It's just the wrong "o" ring and doesn't leak under pressure, only when sitting (weird I know).

The oil burning is a sepporate issue. I will check the PCV valve though, but it's not popping dip stick. Usually a PCV valve causes a popped stick. If it's forcing oil out through the motor (rings, turbo, whatever) then it's probably a bigger issue.

I've wheeled my Frontier and it is no where nere as nice as the Pajero. The Paj, even with it's short wheel base, is smooth. It's breakover can't be beat. I love the approach angles. I rarely drag the bumper off of things and when I do I know I'm driving it hard.. ahh.. the Paj...

Then again... The Frontier has a factory locker, six forward gears, a lower T-case ration and 281 pound feet of torque... and I can buy parts with a simple phone call...

But the Paj has a snorkle, and I can go up the stairs in MC-creek with 2 wheels in the air... It clearas 33-12.50 stock... but the Fronteir has cruise...
