besides..the engine is pretty tired and next year I'll pull it out and rebuild it.
But the road draft tube as I now know it's called is probable the cause of the oil laying on top of the transmission I'll put a tube on it an run it to the side, so I can see how much oil leaks from there

You can put a freeze plug in that hole, I do not know what size though...My 67 283 form my first car (67 Bel Air) has a freeze plug in it, but is buried in the garage

I'd second running a pcv into vacuum. Helps remove the positive pressure in the engine (hence positive crankcase ventilation), fighting everything mentioned above.

I'd just plug that pipe, until you get situated, your breathers will get-by for now... You could get more oil fumes out of it, by just venting it, than you want, especially venting it into the air. THe PCV valves for 67 and earlier were inline valves. You could use it for the PCV, when that day comes, and just leave the breathers in place, you have now...just a thought.

Have fun in Poland!!!!
