I have to say that mine lookED as in my first picture only until I installed the screw clamps on the breather elbows. The clamps really minimized the leak problem. All you can see now is just a bit of oil at the base of the upper breather elbow, and that oil travels down the left side of the camshaft cover making, over time, a mess on both the bottom of the engine and the garage floor. How do your breather elbows look? Do you have an idea of when they were last replaced?
