You don't want a front or rear main leak so don't run it without fixing the issue

Hose could be blocked and there has to be a check valve (PCV valve) between the valve cover breather fitting and the intake stub or the intake vacuum would cause the vapor hose to suck in oil. You might want to pull the cover on top of the valve cover and check that diaphragm too. The motor has to breathe or it will blow the oil filler cap off.

Like I said previously, I eliminated mine by running the hose down the side of the motor. I blocked off the intake nipple with a plastic pipe plug.
