Don't know BN4s well, but isn't the rear filter the one with the 
crankcase vent piped into it?  That would be the logical culprit.

Ira,

Is it your BT7? I think your carburetors are larger, but if the hose =
from the valve cover is connected to the rear air cleaner, per the =
original routing, that is the oil source.

Short of pulling my head, is there anyway to test where the oil is =
coming from? My rear air filter has a lot of oil blow by. I should clean =
it every 1000 miles or so. So is it coming from Valve stem seals, valve =
guides or rocker arm??? When I adjusted my valves I did not see a lot of =
oil pumping from the rocker arms. I plan to drive my car on a  3000 trip =
in Sept from Portland,OR to Deadwood, SD fro Conclave and thought I =

This is possibly coming from the crank ventilation. This often happens 
if the sump has been overfilled with oil or if there is serious blow-by 
because of worn bores/pistons/rings.

Typical 6 cylinder Austin-Healey problem. Usually the rocker shaft is worn=
=20
and oil is spread all over under the rocker cover. Rocker number 10 or 11=
=20
is directly under the ventilation and blows oil directly into it.
Problem solved by replacing the worn rocker shaft and new bushes for the=20
rockers.
Let it done by a specialist, as it needs some Healey engine knowledge to do=

it right.

Worn rocker shaft would be my first guess.  Remove the rocker cover, lay =
an old towel over it and secure it.  Start the car and look under to see =
if any oil is shooting up from the cap bores, versus oozing out over the =
shaft.  If so, worn shaft.  If you don=E2=80=99t mind the possibility of =
oil on the underside of your bonnet, you can forego the towel.

Typical 6 cylinder Austin-Healey problem. Usually the rocker shaft is =
worn and oil is spread all over under the rocker cover. Rocker number 10 =
or 11 is directly under the ventilation and blows oil directly into it.

Problem solved by replacing the worn rocker shaft and new bushes for the =
rockers.=20

Let it done by a specialist, as it needs some Healey engine knowledge to =
do it right.

Ira--

There's never anything wrong with doing a leakdown test but whether or not
the source is a worn rocker shaft will not be revealed by such a test.
I'd suggest pulling the rocker cover and observing how much oil is spewing
from the shaft bushings with the engine running.  Have towels handy....

Ira,
 
I had my rocker shaft redone by Rocker Arm Unlimited. They know Healey
rocker shafts. Prompt service and a reasonable price.

Yup coming from crankcase hose. Ive got a lot of advice. Will get a leakdown
test done and see what I find. 
Thanks everyone

This is possibly coming from the crank ventilation. This often happens if
the sump has been overfilled with oil or if there is serious blow-by because
of worn bores/pistons/rings.
