Yep,
And there is an o ring. The o ring is probably melted flat into the
plastic tower but it was there. Look carefully.

Subject: vacuum leak at breather tower?

Hey list,

While messing around with my engine this weekend I noticed that the
crankcase breather tower fits onto the case pretty loosely.  There is no
rubber o-ring or anything to make a nice air tight seal.  Since the
breather
tower is plumed to the air intake system couldn't this be a source of a
vacuum leak?

Thanks,
Jake
