I have owned my 73 JH for almost 2 years and just noticed that when the car is driven for about 20 min. and then stopped, there is a small pool of oil coming from a vapor hose that is the rear of the engine. The prior owner ran this hose about 1/2 in. diameter from the back of the engine and then about half way under the body. Up until recently, the oil coming out of this hose was a few drops but now it is a small pool. I know that this is supposed to be vapors only and in my previous JH, this hose was connected to the back of one of the K&N filters. I keep the engine oil half way between min and max. Oil pressure is good and the car runs well. Please explain what is happening and if there is anything that can be done, besides a new engine!
