E30 Zone

I appreciate this may have been covered but i'm trying to get used to the forum and new to e30's.

I have an epic oil leak from the passenger side of my engine block. Seems to be more top end . Are there any pipes that could rupture on that side ? The other side is fine . It started this evening after an oil change last week. Just started to gush out . Any help greatly appreciated . thanks

Photos, picture paints a thousand and all that!

crank vent tube o-rings my guess

is that the hard metal pipe with the spring at the bottom? That's where the leak is coming from. Top of the tube goes into the inlet manifold . That must be it now i know whats its called thanks reggid
