Thanks for the help. It must be a mkI. There's no engine oil filler on either cam cover; it's in a different spot. My concern was the amount of oil that was coming out of the vent and the direction it was pointing. The oil was coming out as if you put oil in a large syringe and slowly depressed. Not a really strong stream, but definitely a stream. Also, the direction of the vent, since there is no hose on it, was pointing onto the starter coil wiring. So, I have two questions. 1. Do you think the stream will subside as the engine warms up? Maybe it was just because the car had been sitting so long? 2. If I attach a hose to the vent, is there some direction I should point it so it's not shooting all over the starter coil?
