[FC] new oil leak, pressure related?

[corvanatics@corvair.org]

Be sure that if it has a drilled orfice in the cross balance tube OR a pcv
valve in the line that they/it is not plugged.  It will cause the same thing
even on an engine in good condition

> Hi All,

> have a new oil leak on the brier, seems to be blowing back @dipstick tube.
removed vacuum lines, plugged it where the hose connects to carb tube, and
removed the pipe coming up from the top shroud.  this significantly
decreased leak around dipstick tube and indicates i probably need a good
cleaning of the top shroud pipe

i think this indicBruce Gwyther, >

cover, however i soaked this in carb cleaner and cleaned really well @8-10k
ago when i had cover off

remove carbs, top cover, etc and check that pipe again
