Help! What I done did?
It's a 72, I removed/cleaned/painted,etc the oil tank and lines, although I did not remove the breather lines from the body. Upon restart I've got a massive leak from the air cleaner housing. Could I have reversed the breather lines? I'm just getting the car ready for the painter and don't need to be messing around with an oil leak!

Is it possible you overfilled the oil tank?

I think that's what I did. Thinking back, I didn't drain the sump, and when I finished the job I put 9 quarts back in! The oil, before more leaked out, was nearly to the top of the tank! Goes to show the danger of starting a job and not finishing it until months later. You lose track of where you were. Thanks.
