Gates Engine Crankcase Breather Cap P/N:31061
Gates 31064 oil & lubrication components for the 1967 Ford Mustang and other vehicles are an engine crankcase breather cap that closes the oil filler opening and helps manage crankcase ventilation. It is also called an engine oil breather cap.
Oil seepage around the filler opening, a rusted or dented cap, or a cap that no longer seats can mean it is worn. Before you replace it, rule out a clogged PCV system or a leaking gasket nearby, since either can leave oil in the same spot.
It also fits the 1965-1967 Ford F-250 and the 1958-1967 Chevrolet Impala, and it is listed for a wide range of Ford, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, International and American Motors models. Open the Buyer's Guide tab to check your exact model and engine.
