I didn?t say I wanted to race it, but since the club I race with, Vintage Racer 
Group, just decided cars up through 1989 are vintage and eligible (yeesh, 
frown), it should fit right in!

Brian, I would say venting might help, but only if it?s a small leak.  If 
you?ve got a anything more than a drop or two when the the car is stationary 
and running, you?re going to have more when you?re braking, the oil sloshes up 
there  and it?s hot and at higher revs.

Hi Friends

Sorry about stirring the pot on vintage over Scott's post on the TR4 on BAT, 
pretty nice car though I thought, competing in my dreams for the Volvo 544 with 
the V8

Anywise - thinking about the oil leak coming from the front of the pan on the 
GT and the high probability it's the sealing block.  That said, it seems that 
if I alleviate the air pressure build up in the engine I might minimize it 
until I actually have another reason to pull the engine.

Has anyone ever put a PCV on the vent coming off the valve cover and hooked it 
to the intake manifold? worked in the old days.

Any thoughts and comments are welcome.

Thanks
Brian
