302 OIL LEAK
I have a 83 F100 with 302 auto overdrive. I have a prob with oil coming out from under the fill cap, I've checked the pcv valve it has vacum on it. What could it be, and how can I fix it?

If it is a valve cover oil cap,maybe the gasket under it is too squashed and won't seal anymore.
It wouldn't be the first one that happened to.

302 OIL LEAK
The last person's response sounds good. I had that problem too with my 1985 Ranger. I replaced the PCV and the cap on the valve cover. It is really cheap, only about $8.00, if I am remembering correctly.
Also, wonder if the hose that the PCV connects to is clean and clear of old oil clogs--I found that mine was dirty. Perhaps it could clog the new PCV easy enough.
Good luck!
