some may recall my runningout of oil a while back. Figured this one out too. Once the car started, it was obvious that something was quite wrong - the breather hose comes off the valve cover then goes into a T. the bottom of the T looks like it goes back to the crankcase (?) and it is leaking. THe other end of the T goes to the intake boot off the air cleaner - it was gone...splattering some, but not alot of oil. Over time, these two things together, I believe, would run the oil down much faster than normal, especially on a high miles engine. New T and hose to be ordered today. :-)
