Leaking Oil
I am leaking oil out of the breather cap. It has a tube that runs from it to nowhere. I want to hook something to the tube and run it to like a can mounted in the engine bay or under the truck so that it will stop leaking on the ground. What should I do?

Get a can and run a hose down to it. Been there done that when I had a engine with a lot of wear and was trying to keep it going.
Does your PCV valve suck on your finger when you pull it out with the engine running?

Yes it does. Is this the only thing I can do to fix it?

Your engine is wore out. The only thing that will fix it is a total rebuild. You can run it awhile like that though, till it starts fouling the plugs so bad it won't run correctly anymore.
