Hopefully this will reduce the pressure in the crankcase and reduce the oil leakage until I replace the valve covers.

Oh, and incidentally, the crankcase breather hoses are bulged out a bit as well, with crud stuck on it. I wonder why...

30vers, replace this thing, or at least check it, before your valve covers go bad.

Blow on the top and side ports to test. They should allow air to exit on the bottom port. My side port was clogged up six ways to sunday. No air passage at all.
