Thanks for the suggestion... I'm pretty sure my oil consumtion is ending up on the driveway through the air filter housing. Will try tightening the intake manifold bolts, but...
NEWBIE QUESTION: What and where is it? What size bolts should I be looking for?

Already have a flat style hose installed, but will pull air cleaner housing and check the drain tube again. After reading up on blowby on this board I read that there is also some kind of gasket on the end that can dry out. As per your suggestion, will also give a good cleaning and check for a blockage. Let me know what you find when you do yours.

Hope this oil blowby isn't bad rings or something else serious. Would surprise me though because the engine runs so strongly otherwise.

Thanks again....
