Ever since i started doing trackdays, i've began to get a constant oil leak. The leak isn't bad, but it's got to the point that everytime i park the car, i've got a good square inch of oil leaking...

So far, the only thing i can put it down to is a breather related problem.

I've only got the standard sized breather pipework, that goes from the block.. up to the rocker cover. This is T-peiced and they both go into a catch tank.

Should i need to improve/make this bigger ? i could try doing two seperate larger pipes.. both into the tank ? What's everyone else done on a Twin carb OHC ?

All seals and gaskets are pretty new.

Any ideas where its leaking from ? might just be a leaky gasket rather than a breather prob.

Put the rocker cover outlet straight to the catch tank.

Is it just when you drive it hard then?
Oil getting hooter/thinner? Leaking froma gasket is more likely... mine did that only when I ragges it from the crank seal...
