I'm having trouble figuring something out. I'm getting fresh oil on the shroud under the passenger side carb. It's accumulating where I've highlighted in red in the picture. There's no fresh oil on the exhaust, leaking from the valve covers, or any large leakage under the car.
I changed the oil yesterday, noticed oil oil there when I did, cleaned it up, and took it on a 30 mile drive. Checked this morning and there's new oil there. I can't figure it out. Thoughts? I checked oil levels and they're fine. Just a wee hair above the line. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-25787-1629484094.1.png) |

Did you check the oil pressure sending unit or the tap in that area? It's damn near a 1/8"npt thread but it is metric. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Might be a dumb question but do you have that head vent highlighted in green routed with a hose to the flash pot and then to an air cleaner? It will spit oil if left open.

It will spit oil if left open. No, not a dumb question. It's not routed anywhere, which is why I highlighted it. I actually determined that to be the source today after a long drive into Seattle. I'm running dual webers; it's not an FI car. I will snag a T-fitting tomorrow and route them to the main line coming off of the oil cap. I have to trace that and figure out where the hell he put sent that as well. I swear, the previous owner has me throw up my arms several times a day. |

I run a hose directly between the 2 head vents (red hose) which i think is a recommendation from Jake Raby,
I do not get any oil residue in the breather from the chimney to the catch can or to the carb air cleaner.  |

Awesome. I wondered if there was a problem with doing that. I'll attempt to emulate the rest of your configuration eventually. Looks like a good solution. Thanks for the assistance and suggestions. |
