We are talking the back of the engine. PTO side.
It is leaking between the shaft and the inside lip. I have an extra seal
so i will put that in and give it another go.
My thought on the breather was maybe I was just getting to much crank
case pressure?
What does the inside of the breather look like when it is operating as it should,
is it pretty oily or just a little bit?
Thanks for the help Again.

More importantly are you getting oil in the air cleaner from the vent hose ?
The top metal cover of the element, usually has a drop of oil on it, but not dripping oil and running off into the element and making a mess.
A re-ringed engine will have a little bit of "puff" or blow-by till the new rings seat fully.
You either have a reed valve, or an orange neoprene check valve disc
in the valve cover.
If it is intact and installed correctly, it should be ok,
I can't remember if they can be installed improperly.
Did you remember to install the short orange piece of neoprene hose on the retainer studs between the check valve plate and cover? it prevents oil usage.
Some are lost, forgotten/omitted or overlooked.
Note:
Do not open the oil filler cap with the engine running, it will make you very unhappy if you do, just trust me!
