Greetings,

Got a late model 3.0LX engine here, with a valve cover breather connection that is beveled?

It's conical, with the top smaller in diameter to the bottoms, meaning that the hose connecting to spark arrestor likes to fall off?

Is this a common problem?

Also, I've got 140 psi in back cylinder, and 165 in the other 3. That seems healthy enough. Blowby seems pretty heavy, and it shoots a steady mist of oil out. Is this common? Engine runs well, has plenty of power, but we're going through a good bit of oil. 1.5 ish quarts on the last tank.
