F20 or Regular Crankcase Vent


Never found one plugged up, always blow em out with the airhose anyway. but had lots of leaks. What's leaking on yours?
 
Main seals seem to be dry, but oil appears along a fresh pan gasket, with sealer on it. Could be seeping down from the governor seal, where the throttle rod tube connects. Also have oil seeping by the spark plugs, which is kind of a puzzle. Cleaned the sparkplug hole threads, with a new tap. Not smoking from the muffler.
 
The oil pan bolts go clear through the block and are in the oil being splashed inside. They will wick oil out somehow. I put aviation form a gasket on the bolt threads when I put them in. Learned that the hard way, ruined a paint job.

The spark plug one has me stumped, only thing I can think of is make sure they have their metal gaskets on em.
 
I was looking at some old photographs the other day. Brand new Farmall on showroom floor and they had a pad under it to soak up the leaks. They are made to leak. I remember a story from years ago. Filling stations would routinely add a qt with every fill up. Apparently this one car didn't use that much because one day it was FULL. Clear out the filler cap!
 
Cowman-I always respect your opinion and advice. But leaks just aren't acceptable to me. Will get them stopped. Thanks for your input.
