Hi, im Armando from México this is my first time on the forum...i have a Chevy Luv 80 i love my truck and i'm really happy to have found this great forum.
The Luv gave some engine problems so i decided to make a full overhaul, at first instance the truck worked great, great compression and power way to different to the way it was before the overhaul :twisted: ...but then it started to leak oil from the respirator on the valve cover, i don't know what to do since all the mechanics right here aren't so good...some tips from where to start checking would be great, sorry about my bad english thanks!

English seemed pretty good to me. Are you talking about the vent on the back of the valve cover on the very top?

If it's leaking from the valve cover we call that blow by. A few things can cause that. First Czech that the PCV system is hooked up and working. It it is then the best bet would be piston rings.

By the way, welcome to the forum. Your English is a hundred times better then my Spanish.
