Default Another cheap engine vent

Here's some pics of my engine breather don't laugh it was cheap. Since I work on my own junk I got tired of oil all over the front and side of the engine from the stock breather location.
As you all know there are some fancy breather canisters but all I wanted was to really see where the seaps / leaks are under the truck.
Thanks to Buckshot's post a while back for the idea

This is a darn good idea! I need to locate a engine oil leak that started in my truck, if I can eliminate the blow-by, there is one less place it can be.

[I]When I worked for Cat, we used wood for everything. There wasnt a single jack stand in that whole shop. However we had everything from 2x4's to rail road ties. [/I]
