Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing PCV Valve question and dipstick oil leak

So I'm posting some images below, things I noticed this morning while fettling the car:

1) I do have a road draft pipe (pic below). The road draft pipe s putting out some air with throttle - however MOST of the air is coming out of the oil filler neck under throttle, not from the road draft pipe, though the road draft pipe does have airflow (air blowing out of it) under throttle, it's probably 25% of the flow from the oil filler orifice.

2) Without the dipstick in, oil is just spraying out in a fine mist from the dipstick hole (see pics below).

So...it *seems* like the road draft pipe may be partially blocked (Am I correct here - or is something else going on?). When I look up into the draft pipe from below the car, it's appears to be open and clear from the part I can see - but it may be blocked on the takeoff from the block that I cannot see. How would one go about clearing the pipe? How it is removed? I see the bolt holding it in place, is it just a pressure fit into the block? If I remove the oil pan, will I be able to check the opening of the road draft tube from the inside? Is that a better approach?

Frankly - the evidence I have is that the block is being vented - though perhaps not efficiently. The oil pressure a 2k RPM is around 50-60 (using the quadrant gauge), I don't think there is excessive crankcase pressure, or else oil pressure would be high. I'm quite tempted to just use the rubber plug I have around the dipstick to stop oil from splashing out and just live with this...I don't think I'm at risk for additional leaks with normal oil pressure...again would appreciate any additional thoughts.

I certainly appreciate everyone's help here!
