You're on the right track, but not from the breathers or hoses.  Forgot to
mention we put a new oil filler cap on as well as a new PCV valve, gasket,
and breather hoses, but that wasn't it.  Dipstick area, in fact the whole
drivers side stayed dry from oil.

But you're close.  VERY CLOSE.  Think strange.  Think Bizzare.  Think
outside the box.  8-)
