If it's leaking out there running but not pushing oil out the breathers to the air cleaner, it's likely the plug or debris under it. If it blows out when the plug is removed for setting the timing, that's normal.
You can buy a new timing plug for about 3.00 if that one is compromised and whatever you do, don't overtighten! Part# 720

ive tried teflon tape,an o ring,a plastic washer like on the drain plug of a car.couple weeks ago i put copper silicon on there.before i put the silicon i tightened it up just a bit too much.still some threads left but not all of them.there is no oil coming out of the head breathers.

i dont have a pressure gauge.the valve train sounds like its getting oil.theres enough oil coming out of that plug that after 100 miles it'll leave a good strip where its running off my frame
