I have a 1987 YJ 4.2L. I have excessive oil residue coming out from the dipstick tube. The tube is good. Oil is not overfilled. PCV valves are good. For some reason I have oil all over the rear passenger side of the engine. I'm thinking of adding a twist on vent at the oil fill hole on the front of the valve cover. Any thoughts on what could be the problem?
 
before you spent money on parts, there is a very good video on "you tube" that you should see about this problem. it will answer your question very well. good luck
