Hi Jason, I've got the same problem with my '86 Westy and I've discovered that there are a few places that leak could be coming from. I replaced my oil pressure relief valve and it didn't do a thing for the leak. I also replaced my oil cooler ring - I would look there next. But that didn't do it either. So now I'm pretty sure its coming from the oil.. ahh.. whats it called... the black tall cylinder oil thing that goes to your air intake area - can't remember the name of it right now, but it also has a seal where it connects to the engine block and I'm going to replace that next. It definetly has oil leaking out from the bottom, not much, but enough to replace it. So there's a few suggestions of other places to look as well. Good luck! Peace, Marla '87 Westy GL "Vana Morrison"
