<VV> 1962 vair

[Louis Armer]

Hi Eric, Welcome to V V and the quick answer to your question is the 
oil cap is not correct. A Corvair oil cap has no ports, vents, holes 
of any sort. The proper oil cap provides a leak proof tight fit and 
there should be no seepage or fumes coming from the cap or the oil filler tube.
