86 Cherokee Pioneer...oil leaks
 

Hey all,
Well heres the deal, my jeep has the 2.5L and I have been battling oil
leaks. I have changed the rear main, which helped in a big way, I have also
changed the valve cover gasket. I now have oil covering my entire engine
compartment. I believe it is blowing by somewhere and I think it might be
the (have no idea what it is called) maybe a breather type thing which is
located at the back of the valve cover and the hose runs to my aircleaner
box.(air box also has oil in it) Any idea's on this? Is it possible to
clean? Can you buy a new one?(which would require trying to figure out what
it is called) Thanks for any help in advance!!

Hi Tracy,
AMC used a Mickey Mouse solenoid powered Positive Crankcase
Ventilation system on your car. Clean the carbon that blocking it at the
intake manifold and convert to a regular PCV valve as done at this site:

GASKET AGAIN! The little four banger usually burns a hole in their valve
cover above an exhaust port, so maybe get rid of that plastic.
