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?
