pme, yes, I think a slightly negative crankcase pressure would reduce leaks. I ordered the PCV online and it's not supposed to be here until Friday. And the vacuum hose is rotted so need to find out what size it is. Tonight I stopped at Home Depot and bought a roll of Gorilla tape. I wrapped the oil spout seam with tape. The tape is rated for a maximum of 200 degrees so it may not hold? I'm not sure how hot the valve cover gets? I have a Fluke IR temperature gun so I suppose I can take some measurements. Anyway, letting this car sit for 2 years was bad for it. It got driven some but very little.
