Where can I get a new one of these. Mine let's small amounts of oil run down my valve cover. And yes my power steering hose is laying on the exhaust manifold. I have the gear box out right now...

I tried all I found is breathers that go into the vc. This vc has shaft thst sticks out. Even ebay let me down :(
 
l would clean that out good (varsol ect)to point l could silicone a rubber washer on the isd...shouldn't be that hard to sort out and save original cap..just needs a little love and modding
 
If you have that much oil going into the breather, you have other issues. Bad PCV valve possibly or too much ring blow by.

At idle, you should have a slight amount of vacuum at the oil fill. If you don't have a vacuum, it could just be the PCV valve. If you have a positive pressure, then the rings are worn allowing combustion pressure to pressurize the crankcase.

You can clean that breather cap out by soaking in gas or something similar and letting it dry.
 
was wondering about the vacuum but still learning how these engines vent ect
