Thanks for the quick reply-

Well it is actually small-how small? not to form a drip on the pavement at any time over the last year, not burning any oil between 3K oil changes. It would just keep the ds block wet.

The reason that I went after the breather box in first place is that there was as of, two days ago, a oil drip on the pavement and also a failure of that "jiggle test". After pulling the breather box, which was also always wet, I found that the breather box had a broken male tube fitting(of the two on the bottom). I thought that the box was plugged up, but the po had replaced the box with one on those plastic ones, and had perhaps broken it on installation. (Or I had broken it by jumping up and down on that side of the motor)
