Last year, I picked up a sweet 74 Duster. This summer, I started getting an exhaust smell in the cabin, and the RIGHT exhaust pipe started smoking blue smoke. I did some poking around and found the Breather Cap was pretty dirty and had oil residue in and around it. Now this motor was a new rebuild two years ago (so the seller says and the way it looks and runs, I believe it), so I would think that the Breather would not be older than that. I swapped the breather out and the smell and blue tint to the exhaust both went away. Problem Solved. Here is what is bothering me.
1. How often should a breather be swapped out? PCV valves last for years.
2. Does anyone think the engine builder just reused the Breather? If so, man that is lazy.
Ok, rant over. Thanks for reading. :-k
