Default 1997 1500 350 filler neck oil leak.

After looking all over, I believe I simply have a leak at the base of the oil filler neck where it meets the valve cover.

My question is; does the filler neck screw off?

yes. it unscrews and there is an o-ring seal. You can buy the whole neck/seal/cap new at a parts store for cheap.

Curious, were you able to simply unscrew the fill tube? I've read so much mix info on how to do this.
