WEBER or not

[garlicgabe]

I have a 81 TREKKER going through all the normal overhaul stuff. New Clutch, new timing chain, water pump, rear main seal, new fan etc. Now it looks as if I will need to pull the head, tried to get around doing this right now. But I have a little oil leak that drips onto my exhaust manifold behind the heat shield when it warms up to running temp. I have a new valvle cover gasket and it seems to be seated correctly, but can't seem to pinpoint the leak. I will be taking the exhaust manifold off tonight I hope. Gathering my parts I am wondering if I should just rebuild my stock carb or go WEBER? I live in Cali, and it needs to be smog legal. Anyone have this oil leak? Should I WEBER or not?

Thanks

When your truck is at full operating temperature and you pull off the vent hose on the front of the valve cover while running, does oil mist come out?
