Oil is leaking from the Breather/Valve cover. When I checkedc it out the bolt at the far end was only finger tight. I am guessing that this is the cause of the leak. I am going to get a new breather. When you start the engine it just pours out from that breather area. Is this a common problem if the last owner did not tighten it down? I also noticed that the intake valve seemed to get more oil then the exhaust valve. It appeared to pump up from around the valve stem. Their is also a huge return hole. I am assumeing that this is a normal manner of operation?

The only thing that went wrong was I snaped an exhaust manifold/muffler bolt off in the block. I will have to borrow a small enough easy-out.
