Well I haven't checked the draft tube filter since I've owned the car..

If the canister filter has never been changed, do that after you clean the engine up. Then check the oil filler cap screen also, it's the only crankcase venting inlet on a stock engine. As pointed out, the engine needs substantial cleaning up to help source the main leak(s).

So I looked down from above and found out where the leak is coming from, it's coming from the oil canister, about at the 10o clock position, the dang gasket must have fallen down as I was putting the canister back on.

How many of you guys have gone to the modern oil filters on your cars? Because these canisters are a pain in the butt.

I went with the screw on   TWICE   Went back to the canister and never had a leak problem after that (at least not from the oil filter)

Or just go what someone did on my fairlane, they used rubber hose and a hose clamp to vent it past the end of the transmission. Odd thing is this isnt some oil burner, it's a low miles all original car.

I just shook my head when i saw it, then i decided if it aint broke.... so it's still there
