Default Leaky!

I used tips from ERA Chas & Rick to reset my oil pan & valve covers. They no longer leak But I'm still gettin oil loss via oil breather's! These (old) side oilers produce a lot of pressure it seems & in a 200 mile cruse/romp I've noticed a 1/8 to 1/4 quart loss thru the breather's. Next on the list is extending the breather caps close to the height of the turkey pan to see if that helps. The original breather on the rear of the intake has an offset & does not leak! It is almost as high as the turkey pan
