I've just been getting water and condensation in there. The baffled fittings in the valve cover have helped a lot.

Yep - Baffles make the difference!

That's about what I would expect for moisture in our climate and no PCV system....

I'm happy there isn't much oil in there. Tells me the bottom end is not leaking to badly.

I found a tear in the drive shaft bellow.......and water inside around the drive shaft and bearing. Luckily it only had some surface rust so guessing it was from this past year only. Wiped up and looks and feels like the bearing is still good. Whew!

Depending on how it all comes apart I would look at doing all the bellows as long as you are in there anyway.
