To all of you who offered advice regarding my oil leak:
I hooked all of the stock plumbing back up; new hose to original air box, added an elbow to the PCV line to remove kink/crimp, and cleaned the PCV valve. I also created a rubber collar the same diameter as the throat of the weber carb from a plumbers pvc pipe union to make a seat/seal for the airbox on the weber carb.
I reattached everything and took the car for about a 15/20 mile ride. Checked everything out when I got home - No leaking!!! Everything was as dry and clean as when I wiped everything down the night before.
This is the last time I let a friend who claims to know what he's doing assist me in any modification/repair work. I'm learning as I go alone - this was a good lesson. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks to all of you for your advice and assistance. I really appreciate your imput.
Bruce: special thanks for the PVC valve - check is on its way.
All the best,
Randy McCafferty
