Possible, but I have a Weber DGV, so the only fitting for crankcase venting
is from the air filter to the breather on the timing cover. This is hooked
up. If it was a little oil, I could see that maybe being the cause, but
this is literally pouring out. I don't know where I screwed up but I
imagine I'll find out soon as the rain stops and I get a chance to pull the
engine again.

Thanks,

Robert
