The oil leak is connected to failing the jiggle test. Positive pressure in the crankcase will push oil out any seal. The three easily replaced seals on the engine front, OR the major $$$ PITA rear main seal.

Clean the PCV system ASAP. Ne hoses, trap, cup, nipple, etc. The box itself may be bad, too. If you can swing it, replace all those parts with the parts for a 1988 B230F. That relocates the flame trap to the top of intake rails #3 and #4. Quick, easy and clean to service.

Overdrive relays are notorious for developing cracks in the soldering on the inside circuit board. Easy repair. Check FAQ's or archives for Don Foster's great post with pictures, even! The randomness of the O/D problem points to that relay.

Good Luck,

Bob
