Need some help tracking down my oil leak. I have oil all over the passenger side tin on the top, doesn't appear to be coming from breathers or oil fill tank, it's a complete mess with oil even on the firewall. I have ran it after cleaning and can't track down any leak, however after driving a short distance the tin is covered with oil even tracing the rear glass. So where in the heck could it be coming from? Oil cooler doesn't seem to be wet. Any help would be great

I'd like to see a better (more comprehensive) picture of the hoses at the breather and the flame arrestor nearby. Is there something vented to the atmosphere? If not, there should be. Internal pressure will force oil out wherever it's easiest.

The Cap'n Here are a couple more pictures, I'm very new to 914's so If I'm missing something please feel free to fill me in, I've been into type 1 VW's since I was a kid but this is different from anything I am familiar with.
