I'm gonna pop the intake pipe back on and take it over to dads shop. The only compressor i have is just a little 2 gallon portable one. You pump air out of it and it kicks on right away so it's hard to hear air coming from anywhere. The bubbling just happens to be loud enough to hear. Lately it seems like the car has been using some oil i might add. When the head was rebuilt, all new valve seals were put on. I have no clue where the oil is going. It's not an external leak. If it's smoking i can't see it too well. I'm gonna have to add a compression test to my checklist too. I'm gonna have to get back to you on this one. I'm just trying to point my knock issue at anything now. I will do a better test tommorow night after work.

A long shot but, ... Can internal oil leaks caused by valve seals, compression leaks, etc.. cause knock issues?

Thanks.
