Ok I am a noob, so please be gentle with me.
My jeep has a minor leak when I stop that accumulates on the ground. An inspection this morning(hadn't driven since last night) shown that the "breather valve" on my valve cover is a little lose and a small pool of oil had accumuated on the valve cover trickling from the breather. I called someone who knows enough about this stuff, explained it and he said it's a breather valve, if I'm wrong, my appologies. The round silver item under the overflow and to the left of the intake. You can even see some of the oil on there. So no one has this part local at the part shops, it's to hot to deal with a junk yard and I'm to lazy to go to a mechanic. my question:
1. As long as the oil is at the right level, how much driving can I do with this small leak from the breather?
