Oil dripping from the air cleaner and filter is oily
My 79 240D is dripping oil from the air cleaner. When I open the oil cap there is a strong blowby. The car runs fine and is starting OK. The mileage is 250k miles. I got it when it was 180k. I also own a 78 300D. I need some suggestion what to do.
