but i don't know for a few more hours yet, & will be calling aaron tommorrow to see what he thinks, i'm not very machanical, so i really don't know what "blow by" really means, all i know is that the machanic says oil is going everywhere, but i'm not burning it.

If you have oil everywhere and it not not caused by bad pvc, then I expect your
lean a/f caused bad detonation which u did not hear or catch and u have broken a piston
ring and are now getting blowby which is excess pressure getting past piston and causing oil to leak into pvc system and also burning in exhaust and when bad causing the
"blue" exhaust. Do a compression test and a leakdown to find problem.
