There might not be that much gas in there. I can tell you that you can just about rule out anitfreeze in your oil.

What is your fuel pressure at? Maybe you have leaky injector...do you notice any gas in the intake?

doesnt seem to be losing any coolant, my gas mileage SUCKS!!! It runs decent but i am going to get it dyno tuned at texas hot rods as soon as i get this fixed, or i have been thinking just to let them fix this and then get them to tune it. im tired of messing with it, but i wont be getting the money to do any of that til mid august so i was hoping to fix this part on my own. and nope to smoke out the tail pipes.

after i installed the new heads and intake i got a check engine light so i am not really sure what that could be i am thinking its the car going nuts with a new fresh set of huevos :-) altho i am sure thats not what it is.

I hoped you told the guy you sold the Cobra intake to might have a crack in it....and if you didn't this is pay back for being dishonest.
