I believe there was oil spraying rapidly out of my breather on my valve cover. I was just drving yesterday came home smelt oil and opened the hood and there was oil all over. i looked around and it looked like it was comming out of my breather. i got the other end caped as supposed to.. Or could this oil be comming from somewhere else.. HELP..?? :dsm:
 
Well it might be somthing similar, but today after 1 week of installing my breather on my valve cover, i checked it and the inside was drenched in oil and it stated to leak? it has only been one week and it started leaking today.
 
That's fairly common.. get a catch can & a breather to save your engine bay from a mess. Or you could leave oil spots all over the ground and undercarriage by running a hose to the ground instead of using the breather..

if you removed the stock breather hose, capped off the nipple on the intake, and put a filter on the valve cover, where else did you expect the oil to go? as was suggested already, get a catchcan or use a fuel filter inline
