    Default Steam coming from oil cap removal

    Hey guys,

    this is for a friend. Notice that he is loosing topend power in his Gen3 3sgte MR2.

    He says when he opens the oil cap steam comes out, even after 10 mins of driving, i thought this was normal, but he has lead to think that its a piston ring issue.

    Any thoughts (ohh he is using a Blitz K1 turbo that bolts to stock manifold)
