I have a really annoying problem maybe someone could help me with. I have a 89 gt that is carburated instead of injected. the previous owner. well it has on valve covers with the breaters and it is seeping oil out of the breathter. I have changed breather, checked spark plugs for evidence of blow by, replaced pcv valves and have torn every single strand of hair out of my head. any guesses? Please help a man and his sick Stang.

Are these the little canister breathers with the stem for a hose or the open drum air filter looking ones. Sounds like there is positive pressure inside the crankcase. You can resolve this by plugging those stupid things and putting a single drum air filter type breather at the top of the filler neck. Mine shot oil out of the pcv fitting until I switched to an open breather element high out of the oil's reach. Those valve covers are probably missing the baffles too. That would prevent some of the oil from splashing up that far.
