Chad,

That is funny you said that, because while under my '85 trying to diagnose
my starter/solenoid, I noticed that there was oil coming out of the bottom
of my TV where the boot attaches.  I immediately suspected the PCV valve,
but haven't checked it out yet.  I recently overfilled the oil by accident,
  and I figure it blew through?
