Since I've had this car (2001/driven 50K), it's had an oil seeping problem. I have one of those cast aluminum, fin-top valve covers. There's always oil in the groves. The left side of the engine, from the head down, always has a film of oil. And there is always a drop or two on the garage floor, probably dripping from the bell housing.

The csr is a B22 (big bore) and while it runs flawlessly, and I've managed to make accommodations for the overly large cam and resulting low vacuum, it has suddenly occurred to me after reading the manual page on PCV, and the odd, two-way flow it discussed,that my vacuum issue may have something to do with my oil weeping problem.

All the hoses are connected correctly per the factory set-up and the flame trap is clean. If anyone would care to comment on this it would be appreciated.
