Here is my problem when idealing everything is perfect, or when driving at about 25 miles an hour. Once I go over 30 the fan seem to blow oil over to the side hood vents and than out towards the passenger door. Its not that much oil but does make a mess. Has anyone have the same issue, is there a shield to divert the wind away from the lifters?
