Reply to "Engine Leaks"

When I was perusing The Samba prior to redoing my PCV situation, there was some back and for about venting valve covers, the con being that the airflow impeded oil drainage back down the pushrod tubes. 

Most info pointed to it being unnecessary in a <2L motor so I didn't consider it. Plus, given my Spyder has an electric fuel pump, I have a whopping 1/2 hose coming out of my block-off plate that your Speedsters probably don't have.

Despite this, I'll get a few drops out of my valve covers and pulley after a long slog at high rpm. Not enough for me to really worry about.
