Vettdog, the car doesn't burn oil when I'm taking off from idle at all. The other possibility is that the PCV is making it leak oil as I drive. It leaks a fair amount when it's still, more than the usual TR. I think that's because the harmonic balancer and the seal around the harmonic balancer was replaced, and one of the two was machined just a few thousandths of an inch smaller or bigger (respectively) than it should have been. All that's holding the oil back is a knife edged piece of rubber, anyway.
That still doesn't solve my problem of a small oil cloud at high revs though... Is the lend a tool thing free?
Also, what does it mean if there's a vacuum vs. positive pressure when I take the oil cap off? I had a guy come look at buying my car last year who did that, saying he was checking for "blowback," and I didn't know what that meant, but he must have been checking the guides.
