Hi Mike,
Yes, I actually had originally put the breathers on.... then a few years ago I installed a PCV valve for a while. Not seeing any difference in the leak, I went back to the breathers because I thought they would let more pressure out.
Now that I am almost 100% sure this last oil leak is a pressure issue and not a bad seal- I reinstalled the PCV valve set up, but it still builds too much pressure at cruise and above.
My last ditch effort before I just learn to live with the leak was to purchase the M/E Wagner Dual Flow adjustable/tunable PCV valve. This apparently allows you to adjust the PCV valve for idle under one circuit- and then adjust a separate circuit for "Cruise" when the crank case pressures are higher. Read about it in Hotrod magazine first, and then read up on the product on their website. Holds promise. Its on its way in the mail, and after tuning it, I will go for a drive and report back.
