sorry,i was in a hurry and had to run to the auto parts store. anyways.. its a 90 n/a and today i lost all vacuum on my upper intake. its kinda hard to explane, but the i noticed it when the suction on the oil filler well didn't have any suction. i decided to pop a few lines and see which ones were workin and not. turns out the three on the back of the intake don't have any vacuum what so ever. but the one on the front does. i can;t figure out where or what has failed for this to occur, anyone have any idea. i know it may sound a little confusing but i don't really understand the routing of the vacuum, so if anyone has any idea please leave a post.
thanks
thanks

ok i know theres a problem because i have no suction going to the oil filler tube. if i have no vacuum here there is a problem, if it doesn't vacuum here there is no ventelation to the oil pan. what is happening is there is pressure being built in the pan. and if pressure continues to build it will blow a seal or gasket. i am thinking the front cover seal or the oil pan gasket.
i noticed it when it began to leak on the side of the oil filler (i guess its kinda were the tubing acts like a pvc valve) but the other night somthing else blew. i am not sure were it came from but on start up oil was sprayed on the floor in my garage. not dripped or spilt but sprayed. this is how i disscovered my problem.
i know some lines don't have vacuum but, the one on the oil filler should in order to vent the oil pan.

If it's leaking oil then that means that it IS venting... I believe there should be a flexible vac. line running from the oil-filler neck nipple, then it turns into a hard-line on the fire-wall and plugs into the charcoal canister (or something).
The reason there's a nipple on the oil filler neck is so that it can vent... Vent means expell... Whether it expells into an "environmentally sound" place or onto the road doesn't really matter as far as your motor goes.
More than likely, everything is OK.

It possible to fing out which nipple is vacuum and which is a air supply.
Access the front of the throttle body.
Light up a cigar.
Blow smoke into a given nipple.
If the smoke exits in front of the throttle plates.........it's not a vacuum source.
Done.
