Default Oil leak, HELP!

Hey all, my buddy has a 95 gt. Has been leak free forever. He just had heads, cam, upper/lower intake installed. They installed an oil cap breather and the car now leaks oil from the filter its self. the clamp is tight and has been check a few times. I'm sure this can be a few things, but any ideas would help. thanks

yeah, tell him to take the breather out, and put the original cap back in.. also check the pcv valve for proper operation, i doubt his problem is blowby with a 95.

Dude might have yanked it if he put roller rockers in. Does your buddy's car have roller rockers on it?

yea I have heard from a few other people it may be the oil baffle. I'm not sure what else he got done to it, he rebuilt pretty much all of it though. I guess its gonna have to get pulled apart if it keeps up, thanks

so taking the baffle out will cause an oil leak? because i just did 1.7 roller rockers on my car and it leaks oil like crazy. it has always had an oil leak but not the thing drips like crazy. what do people do when they have no baffle? i had to take mine out for the rocker arms to clear.
