Had just added 2 qts to my old 89 4.0 and headed out. Hit the hwy and noticed smoke in my rear view. Had to get 30 miles or so and then back home before I could see what was up. Left rear of the engine was covered in oil and it had blown down onto the exhaust, thus all the smoke. Cleaned it up this morning, ran it but no leak? Cleaned a clogged ccv tube ( modified and made from a brake line), added 3 qts of oil and ran it again. No leak. As fluid runs down hill, is it possible that back pressure forced oil out the filler tube? Valve cover gasket is new and dry but the tops of my plug wires on the last two cylinders were oil coated? Checked the oil filter adapter/plenum and its still dry.Oil pressure sending switch is dry and working properly. Any other thoughts and or suggestions?
Thanks
