Sorry guys I've read through a number of PCV threads here and still have questions.
I have a new Ford Racing 5.0 crate motor with just 500 miles on it. I have an oil leak that appears to be coming from inside the trans bell housing (AOD) and drips out of the inspection plate at the bottom. Not a big leak but drips.
I have a hose routed from the oil filler tube (it had a nipple/spout on it already) to inside the air filter element. That means no vacuum leak. I figured that this would draw from the crankcase any fumes and moisture.
There is no PCV. I'm using a Holley EFI TBI system. It does have a PCV port that is blocked off.
Is it possible that there is enough preasure inside the crankcase to be forcing oil out the rear main? And if so, would replacing the sealing oil filler cap with one with breather holes resolve the issue?
I took a picture of it and attached it here. Really sorry for yet another PCV post...
