had it done about 40K and 38 years ago. The oil is emitted as a vapor from
the filter. As I recall I need to pull the valve cover, run the engine and
see if oil is spouting. Is that right? The only thing changed since last
ran the car was the filter. I used to have it just run to ground. I did
just tighten the valve cover. it was loose.
