Contour Engine Oil Leak

[HomeMech]

I have a '95 2.0 Contour. I am getting a periodic engine oil leak that is severe enough to coat the left bottom of the car with oil all the way to the back of the car. Oil builds up in the air inductiont system all the way to the air filter box. Thinking that it's a crankcase breathing problem, I have replaced the PCV valve twice with no results. The cam cover gasket has been replaced and is good. The pan gasket looks ok. No issues with the oil filter. I believe the problem is related to the oil building up in the air induction system which is very unusual. The car runs great.

check your valve covers as the gaskets might be bad due to the age of the vehicle...clean the bottom of the engine below and run the car you can get a better idea where it is coming from....i would also guess it is probably either your front or rear main seal but definetly check the valve covers first and then diagnose

i could be wrong, but i dont think it is a front/rear seal if it is getting inside the air filter box. do you get a foamy build up on the oil filler cap and/or inside the tube at the filler cap? even tho you replaced the pcv the hose connecting the pcv to the intake may be restricted take it off and blow it out GOOD LUCK
