Default Is this normal?

I noticed that a small amount of oil was making it's way out of the breather/oil filler cap on the driver side valve cover. Just a mist of oil the valve cover when the engine gets warmed up. Didn't know if this was normal?

Thanks

Check the inside of the cap to make sure there is steel mesh in there. Also, if you don't have a gallery in the ROM section, geterdun.....Not only must you accept Clutch's nomination, you have to have a gallery of pics of your car.

Yep, steel mesh in there.

Good about the ROM thing. Check your PCV valve. It sounds like you may be getting some blow-by.
On edit: I just noticed your pictures are in the "General" gallery. Go back and put them in the "Member" gallery. https://mustangforums.com/m_563967/tm.htm

I was never nominated. Do you have to be to get your car voted on?

We are talking about the Ride of the Month contest on the main MF board. 5 cars are nominated from all sections. Anyone can nominate another person's car. All cars are eligible to include the classics, fox bodies, and new ones. Then we vote on our favorite. At the end of the month, a winner is picked. We have had a few classics win. This month, EarlyStang and Clutch have their cars in the running along with a fox body so far.
