| Glad your trip went well.  So, how did the car place?  Regarding the oil at 
stop or idle, I assume you dropped in a 1275.  We had the same problem while 
trying to figure out the emission stuff.  We finally ended up with the 
following:
Hose from intake to gulp valve to oil seperator at front of engine.  This 
gave us good vacuum, but had the same problem at a stop.  Turns out the 
diaphragm on the gulp valve had a tear in it.  To do a quick fix, simply cut 
a piece of plastic the same size as the diaphragm from a zip lock bag, placed 
the round plastic on top of the torn diaphragm, and buttoned it back down.  
Ran 500+ miles so far, no problems, although I did order a replacement 
diaphragm.  Again, glad you had a good trip, and thanks for you help in the 
past.
