Allan: The oil is coming from the lubrication inside the valve cover. The pressure forcing the oil out of the valve cover is coming from the cylinders. The route from the cylinders to the inside of the valve cover could only be the valve guide seals. The oil is not entering the combustion cycle, so no signs of burning oil. Pressure would prevent the oil from leaking into the cylinders from the seals. The fact that the vent tube is popping/leaking means that the pressure is too high to be bled off by the intake. The good news is that a new set of seals is cheap. Greg
