Chuck!!   Most of us do not have "Puff the Magic Dragon" in our engine bays!  
 ggggg

1   use heavier oil!   50 wt!!!!

2   Make a catchcan......1 gal. plastic jug   FILL  with  loosely packed   
steel wool.....  run the hose to  it!   Drain occasionally!

3   AFTER you fixed everything.....when the weather was warm...did you drive 
around with windows DOWN....heat on HI / HOT  ?
      It helps to "clean out  the ducts!"
