Hi Guys,
Need some guidance and help here. Bought my first C3 last month and have been slowly fixing it up. My problem I have now is the oil breather caps are getting saturated with oil when I drive at highway speeds which in turn leaks out onto the headers which cause then causes a lot of smoking.
The L48 engine has an Edelbrock manifold, Holley carb, and a plain after-market air filter, with oil breather caps on both Mickey Thompson valve covers. There is no PCV line running and I was wondering if this would be causing the oil blow out problem? I thought I would simply hook up a PCV line to the manifold but I can’t figure out where the hose would connect on the manifold.
I also tried getting baffled grommets for the oil breather caps, but there didn’t seem to be enough clearance and they stuck too far into the valve covers.
Is there a relatively easy fix for this problem? I have some chrome goodies and new ignition wires for it but I don’t want to do any of it until I can get this oil leaking problem resolved. How could I find out where or if I can run a PCV line?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
