Oil Breather Options

[ghia1974]

I'm sure this topic has been discussed in the past, but being a newbie not really sure how to find the specific threads. Anyway, I have oil leaking out of my oil breather, not really sure where it is coming from. Definitely not coming from the gasket at the base of the tower. There is a rubber plug where the breather hose should be attached, which I'm sure was routed somewhere in the fuel injection system. Obviously, I have weber's, so not sure what to do with the breather connection. Does the plug on the breather tube cause over-pressure in the system, forcing out oil? Any suggestions/solutions would be appreciated. I removed the dip stick for the picture.

you should remove that plug
your crank case does need to breath, and will cause more leaks (due to internal pressure) if you do not have some type of breather

some guys route that into one of the carb air filters (re burn, like the factory)

others use a bottle or buy a carb breather box.... that allows the case to breath, and a box to catch the small amount of oil that also escapes with the pressure.
