Default HELP LEAK

Have a fuel/oil like leak from the breather block on the front of the timing cover.
I also have a 237 code but it doesn't seem like the truck has the power but that might be because of me use to driving it with the programmer on. any help would be nice just got back from a deployment ad finally have it put together.

Well lookie there, my first post after lurking this whole time! And to top it off I can't help you! Ha!

But I would like to welcome you back to the States! Deployments are awesome and a giant suck-fest, all at the same time, all wrapped up in a giant crap cupcake! But welcome back and thanks for raising your hand to serve in the first place.

Maybe you'll at least get a bump...

oil coming from the breather tube is normal...its a crank case vent. oil mist occasionally comes out and drips. extend the hose and run it past the front axle so it doesn't make a mess on the motor/radiator.

this seems to be alot more then im use to seeing i understand it bypasses but this seems like alot especially when i shut the truck off and it leaks alot could it be anything else in there or no been driving it and montioring the oil and it doesnt seem to be dropping thought it might be my power steering pump but it should be empty by now and making the air in the system sound

I dunno, is it a Po237 code? and if you have fuel comming out of you breather tube you are having fuel get past the pistons rings and into you oil, and that is caused by overfueling, stuck injectors or a drippinng injector(s) But Po237 is a map sensor code, check your batt connections make sure they are clean, and then check you map sensor on your truck and check and make sure their is no corrosion on the map sensor plug. The MAP sensor will make a difference between power and no power...

Forgot to mention I cleaned the map sensor and cleared it and it's not coming back so that problem is solved but still have issues it's leaking out the timing cover with fuel dripping and misting
