OK it's been a while since I posted anything and I thought I would run this one by you guys. I developed an oil leak on my 65 Notch ( actually it seemed more like a gusher). The engine is missing but otherwise seems to run fine (no Knocks). I traced the problem to the extra dipstick tube that is not being used (Universal case) and plugged it up . Thinking that my problem was solved I fired ^%เน d oil started pouring from the front of the engine. When I traced this down I found that the oil was traveling up the oil inlet tower and through the breather hose to the oilbath air cleaner and out a small hole in the cleaner. It seems there is way too much crancase pressure in the engine. The oil pressure relief valves are NOT stuck. I am wondering if It might be a problem with one of the valves not opening or closing corectly but haven't had the time to pull the valve cover to check. Anybody got any Ideas.
