so awhile back i asked for help with this old rabbit, i ended up removing the hose that runs from the valve cover to the air cleaner housing and added a air compressor filter (to try and collect/moniter, the oil), there is no oil in the crancase collection filter(thats whatim gonna call this thing) ive drove the car for 2 weeks and the smoking has stopped, unfortunatly, the signal lights started intermitantly quitting,strange thing is when they start working again the wipers sweep(wipers sweep once then park) is there a common corrosion prob,on these cars? im downloading a wiring diagram today, any insite, help is truly appreciated thanks jeff
