Everytime i drive my car, there is always a little pool of oil that collects behind a little hole by cylinder 3, the oil collects on top of the cooling tins in the back corner of the car. The hole is next to the nut that holds the intake on, its about .5inch diameter or smaller(didn't measure it just guessing) What can i do to stop this oil issue? I also noticed this same hole is on the opposite side of the engine but instead of being behind the intake it is in front of the intake by cylinder 2, no oil comes out of that hole. Maybe the oil isn't coming out of the holes but somewhere else. All i know is that oil collects by cylinder 3 on top of the cooling tins. thanks everybody!! help my car not spew oil, my dad hates oil spots when i pull into the driveway

Do i have to put the fitting onto the top of the air filter cover or can i run them at the bottom in the corners? There is a white fitting like you mentioned underneath the carb already that the hose from the oil inlet goes to that fitting, the hose im talking about is the light blue one in southernmost914 picture, his goes to the aftermarket breather and mines goes to the fitting underneath the carb. What about like a three way fitting so that all 3 lines collect into one hole or should i just stick with all three lines having seperate fittings? Thanks for the help, im off to the hardware store.
