I don't know what a Holden Adventra is but the display suggests you should take your cartoon car to the shop [PRONTO!]

Few years ago I was showing a young English bloke around our lovely state.
I decided to take him down to a friends house on the coast for some sun-soaked days of hard drinking and smoking ourselves silly. I had the time off work, and my trusty baby-poo yellow "fastback" Corolla to get us there.
Off we go waving goodbye to the missus. A couple of minutes after getting on the freeway headed south there is an almighty bang from under the bonnet. Over I pull, pop the hood and there is oil everywhere and no more "pop in cap" on the rocker cover. Fuck.
My guest seems a bit dismayed and appears to be think that we'll be limping home. Bugger that!
Now undue pressure in the rocker cover ain't good - even I know that. But I would not be dettered. Here's the bodge - I got some towel, soaked it in oil and fastened it to the rocker cover with an o-ring. My theory being that the oil on the rag would form a seal due to surface tension. My guest watched on a little nervously as I said "Nah, she'll be right" and gunned the engine. Tada - it worked. No oil and I think the engine even breathed a bit better!
When we got to Busselton (a good couple of hours drive away) I found another rocker cover @ a wreckers (with a screw on cap) for $20, swapped them over, fixed the problem - the breather tube from the airfilter to the rocker cover was as blocked as my arteries. Then my guest & I got stuck into a week of inebriated and stoned hedonism - drank every pub dry and glutted ourselves at many restaurants.

When you see it...

Shouldn't this be in the Random Girl With Hardware Thread?
