my breather on my valve cover is like smoking i think and you can see small streams of oil going down from it.

any help?

I'd start by checking that your PCV is working OK - if the valve or hose gets plugged up, you can easily build up pressure and blow oil out of every hole.

okay thanks. could it b that i just need a new breather?

No, it's not that you need a new breather. If the PCV system is working and hooked up correctly and you still get a high volume of smoke out the breather, it means your engine is mechanically whipped (excessive blowby).

Oh wow! I did a google search for "Slant six breather" and came up with this link. http://www.slantsix.com/UBB/Forum6/HTML/000412.html Sad to say I read about 6 pages of it and it got waaaaay off topic! Really weird!!

But to answer the question, I concur that blow-by will cause the breather to smoke. Did it on my old LTD and it turned out to be a cracked oil ring.

What Dan said. Do a compression test and see if any cylinders are low....like below 50. Been there, done that, did an engine swap.
