914 oil thang engine

Post by fastback »

dragged a 914 in house yesterday.
got it running after a couple of hours, but it leaked a little bit out of a unknown thang at the area the dipstick enters the case.seems lika tube that has been tried soldered and blocked with gasket silicone.
changing the 50/50 mix of oil and fuel to , new oil seemed to help,
is this a breather tube of some sort?
it's a 1,7 Injection

...Red RTV-- always a bad sign...
No idea WTF that is, it's not std.
It's going to be ~hard to fix in the car.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
