Well i earased that nicely detailed message about the oil breather deals. Could someone fwd me that message it has good info in it and i went to reply to it and accidentally earased it (hate it when that happens!) But anyway mine dont leak out of the cap it leaks out of the tube that your dipstick sits in. Like when i cruise at a high rate of speed and stop, I look at the engine and where the rubber part fits on to the metal piece that goes into the block it seems to be leaking there but I am going 90 to 100 MPH and the oil could be coming from somewhere else??? But I cant figure it out and it leaks on the exhause there. My breather box deal at the top of my engine I have a hose breathing the oil air out of the back of my car into the air so i know that it isnt stopped up! I cant figure out this problem? Im having chronic fuel line leak out of this one hose. Now i have some new hose Im gonna replace it! >From Chris Swafford:www.geocities.com/motorcity/garage/4265/ 537Buckeye 36LSB S.W.
