Hi there, been having a issue recently where majority of my engine oil comes out of my breather pipe on the top of the head. I know the car has a head gasket problem that needs addressed asap but trying to figure out if the head gasket is causing oil to come flying out of my breather pipe? Only happens when I’m drifting the car under boost, it shot out about 2.5L of oil earlier on and stuck for options on why this is happening. Any opinions will help greatly! Thanks.

Personally I would get the head gasket issue fixed first then go from there before you end up needing a complete new engine due to oil starvation.

See I was thinking of doing that but I’ve been quoted over £400 just for the head gasket when the pistons or anything could be damaged, I’ve had a look on eBay can get a new engine for £400 which I might just go for as im scared I’ll get this stripped down and cost myself a fortune when everything is wrecked, the current engine is on 206k miles

In view of what you have said I would be buying some K Seal and popping that in as you have nothing to loose, mate of mine many years back used some on his transit and amazingly it worked a treat and the vehicle never did get the gasket changed.
