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

That gasket is exactly what I described. Absolutely a leak.
The heads were not vented in 75. Nor was there an anti flashback valve. The engine may have been changed, the heads could have been changed, or the vents and valve added. Who knows. You still have no crankcase ventilation. The top connection on the flash back valve should go to the air filter housing but you don't have a place on the dual carb air filter for that. Empi makes a set up just for that. The heads vent to a catch can then gravity flow back to the crankcase. |
