For lack of better words yes. Currently no hooded wonder. When driving I notice the drivers side breather has a random "poof" of oil smoke come from it. No set interval for when it does it. Completely at random.

I believe it may be loading up with oil and "purging" it from the breather onto the header. Any help would be great!!

Why would it do this?

thanks guys

Vehicle is 90 Mustang GT. 427ci Stroker. Mild build at 460hp. Ford racing Valve covers. K&N breather on drivers side. Blue Moroso breather on passenger (need the lower profile provided by it to clear throttle bracket)
