I have personally confirmed the dipstick reading. (In other words, I was the dipstick doing the reading.)
Vehicle was level. Oil smells like oil.
Thanks to EVERYONE that contributed! I hope I...
So... Son comes home, and I describe that while he was gone I discovered oil was low, how I did the PCV but let's do an oil change, get some extra oill to keep in the van and keep an eye on the level...
Dig. I am still laughing at myself for totally not seeing the PCV. Turns out I could get to it no prob after pulling a few other hoses. Straight hose seems to be working fine. 7272
UPDATE:

Thanks for the replies! I could not see the rear-most hose from the vantage of the seat-hatch.
I'll find out soon enough by myself, but do I have to pull the seats, etc, or is it reachable from...

Compression test results: Cyls 2,3,4= 170psi Cyl 1 = 150 psi. Not bad overall, but a 20 psi difference?
Also - I was a little weirded out by the sparkplug situation. What is weird is that...
Having read all this, I was waiting for my sister to get back from a trip so I could borrow her garment steamer. THEN I REMEMBERED I HAVE A FREAKIN' STEAM IRON IN MY CLOSET. Duh!
Works like a...
Sooo.... What's the deal with buying a vehicle out of state and bringing it to California?
Reg'ing does not seem to be a problem, but what about smog stuff? If it was not a car originally destined...
Does someone need a Pony Express to Southern Oregon? I know a guy who might be headed your way, Geoff.
I'm in Campbell, Crippler.
