[Shotimes] slowing oil seal leaks

Just a thought.  I wonder if this would help with the plug  well seals and
various other seals on the V6.

I am going to plug the hose that goes from behind the TB in front and then to
the valve cover.  This is the crankcase fresh air makeup hose.  On my '97 V8 I
have this plugged and it creates a vacuum on the crankcase.  This should help
keep the oil from leaking out of the various seals on the car.

A vacuum on the crankcase increases hp and you fuel mileage too while
minimizing the accumulation of sludge in the intake manifold.

Any thoughts?
