I`ve never had luck w/just the o-ring so I use the paper gasket around the base also......problem solved.

Same thing I thought, just wasn't sure as the oil pressure being 50-75# seems unusual for a stock melling pump on a stock 360 long=block rebuild..???? Will have to grab some gaskets tomorrow and try-em out...

If it pukes out under load I would put a bigger PVC vent on it .
Excellent question....drivers side v/c is vented...pass v/c had a PVC, I removed the PVC since the d/s cover was vented....???? Would I be better off blocking off the vent and just running the PVC...??????

For the pcv to properly work you need the valve on one side and breather on the other. It STILL shouldnt leak when you put the paper gasket on in my opinion.

Rick the oil pressure doesnt have anything to do with it, its just splash oil getting up there and getting out... gotta have a O-ring or gasket... if its not vented good enough that pressure is going to get out WHERE EVER it can and right now you dont have a positive seal at that point... get a gasket on it and check the venting

Thanks Mike, kinda what I thought, it has a vent on the d/s and a PVC on the p/s and it was still leaking....so it must be the gasket, the o-ring on the dizzy is suspect as to location, it looked to be below the btm of the casting or very close 
I will get a couple of gaskets and try that, should do the trick.... Wasn't sure on the oil pressure playing a part in it though, thanks for clearing that up

Yo sure it is the distributor and not the intake or oil pressure sending unit, or gauge adapter?

I'm fairly certain it is at the dizzy, I know it's not at the sending unit and hope it's not the intake  If it still leaks after adding gaskets then it will be the intake

I was thinking rear intake gasket as well. May have lost its seal when you wasnt running the pcv valve. 
It was leaking before I disconnected the pvc...???? It looks to be coming from the dizzy, going to pull it today or tomorrow and try the gaskets on the dizzy...?????
