740 ejecting oil 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Kevin on  Fri Dec 14 03:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My '91 740 (8 valve, 90K) has started ejecting oil from the filler cap since an oil change last week. Mechanic cleaned flame trap 3k miles ago, and changed the seal on the filler cap, with no results. Said this morning that it could be the flame trap box? What is that?

Also, car is losing about 1/2 to 1 quart of oil between 3k oil changes. It's definitely not leaking. How do I rectify this? Thanks in advance for your help!
