The vac pump vents into the chain case then, not the intake.

Actually, the main reason they "fail" is that grit eventually wears a
slot in the steel surface (the wear ring on a Benz, the crank on other
cars), and the seal can no longer keep oil in. Sometimes this is a
result of the seal getting hard and shrinking, but usually it's just
milage.
You can
yea, thats possible.

Right now the oil is mostly Chevron Delo 400 from work with a touch of Delvac
1300. We buy Delo 400 in bulk there...I get a gallon here, and there, and

Luther,
On my '80 300SD (now living in Kalamazoo, MI with a new parent) I
changed to Castrol GTX 15/40 (diesel) within the last year before I
sold "her" and found that drips decreased significantly. Has
something to do with additives and seal/gasket expansion
characteristics..
I'll look at this tomorrow. I do know there is a small amount of oil in the
vacuum system. So I have that and the slightly major oil leak on the front of
the engine. Hopefully that will seal it up. P.S. this is an '82 as my
signature reads.

Appearances can be deceiving, make sure the oil's not coming from above,
say from the tensioner or something like that.

I wonder, is it a bad seal, pressurized crankcase, or both?
Get a new wear ring (aka spacer), the old one will have a huge groove
in it.
You will reduce your oil consumption by a qt in 1000 miles or more by
fixing that.
Check to see if you have a line from the vacuum pump to the intake (I
don't remember the age of your car). If present, check for oi
Since everyone has a high amount of time invested in this, I thought I'd give
you the latest update. I let the engine sit with Marvel Mystery Oil
sitting in each cylinder for nearly 2 weeks before finally starting it up.
Once the initial smoking was done, it settled into it's normal amount of
Blowby has gotten worse. Compression is horrible, only 1 cylinder has gotten
better, the rest are lower. 1-320, 2-240, 3-325, 4-310, 5-315. Compression
readings were 1-300, 2-300, 3-380, 4-345, 5-360. Also the vacuum system has
oil in it yeeehaww. So, I added some marvel mystery
