hey bud,

what is your motor like? it could be worn piston rings or you have overfilled your oil.
i know on my old mans car he was using oil like hell and kept filling the air box, turned out worn rings.
hope it helped
cheers

This pipe transfers filtered air into the engine to replace the crankcase fumes drawn out by the PCV system.
If you have a blocked or faulty PCV valve you will have a situation where the crankcase pressure will push the crankcase gasses, with oil in suspension, back up this pipe. Check the PCV valve & system first.
If this is OK, then i got bad news for you.

Nyet! The PCV hose comes from the crankcase under/behind the exhaust manifold and runs to a screw in PCV valve under the carburetor on the intake manifold. I can't remember if it is on the engine side or the fender side though. I think it is fender side on an A-series. Does that make sense? I'm trying to describe which side of the plenum below the carb it screws into.

There can be a problem with oil spilling out through the breather on the block when cornering hard on RT hand corners. It is a problem to overcome because it is caused simply by the oil swirling up the inside of the block under hard cornering. However a good "catch tank" type arrangement in the breather line will fix the problem.
