I did replace the oil pressure sender (next to breather hose connection) and it was dry when I checked it last weekend. I don't have the drain line from the airbox capped, just a hose that exits the...

Thanks for the list.

I’ve checked everything except for the switch behind the air filter. Can you see it from the rear of the car, or do I have to do a partial engine drop?

Last weekend I let it run for awhile and then checked for leaks. The only thing I found was a small leak on the valve covers, which I fixed. After cleaning the area, it still smokes. The only thing...
