PCV issues
The E-Force doesn't have that many vacuum/EGR/PCV/any other air tubing. I double checked with the instruction manual, looks like everything is where it's supposed to be. (It's been on for about 4 months and only blows the dipstick out under peak boost)
Where do you get an oil tube filler breather?
I looked again with the borescope, there was a proper drip under the pulley. I'll take the pulley off after work today to see what I can see, maybe take pictures.
But like Justice, Dysan, and Simon1 say, it doesn't explain why the coolant colored substance is being aerated and dropped on the floor occasionally. (maybe it'll show up again soon so i can take pictures)
I'll have somebody check the oil and water soon.
So no clue on if the dipstick is supposed to have an o ring? It pulls out pretty easily, may just be easier to push that out than going through the passages and baffling to the PCV valve.
I've tried the PCV suck test I read about somewhere, seems to have very little resistance, the tubing/oil separator seems to have very little resistance also.
Also, there's no pressure when I open the oil fill cap after running it 'hard' or revving it a few times.
Anyway, if the worst happens, I'll probably just get a B302 short block. I kinda figured I'd need one in the next few years anyway.
Also, thanks for the help everyone.

Sounds like you have some other issues to check out to though.
Thanks for checking on the o-ring. Someone must have removed it at some time.
The tank will be easy enough to look at. I need to get the oil changed anyway, I'll do it when things stop coming up.
Didn't get to pull the water pump pulley off last night. Had to go eat steak last minute.
Bypass valve....are you talking about the boost bypass valve? I think it's working right. Has vacuum until I get into the gas, then goes up to ~5 psi.

Ok, moved the water pump pulley aside to get a better view of it...do our water pumps have freeze plugs? The fluid appears to be leaking from a freeze plug. It did get to -20* a few weeks ago.
I have pictures, but I'm not sure how to insert them.
