I'm getting some oil leaking around my oil filler
cap and the rear of the valve cover gasket
near the firewall. I suspect it's the pcv hose
or the oil seperator it's connected to.

Is it hard to remove the oil seperator? Could anyone
give me pointers on how to best do this. I was also
wondering about how to check and clean this part.

For awhie I had a bad oil filler gasket. It had hardened
over the years. In addition there was minor leakage
around the valve cover but very little, it mostly
came out of the cap. However now with a new filler cap
gasket on, I suspect the pressure is forcing oil out
the weak spots in the valve cover gasket. Is this
correct? Am I correct to assume it might be a clogged
pcv hose or oil seperator?

Thanks
