Engine Mechanical problem
1970 Dodge Charger V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently had a new intake, carb, and vavle covers installed on my engine. I drove it about 100 miles with some issues, hard starting, oil leaking. I took it back to the shop and they said they forgot to install the oil breather. Would this 100 miles of driving have ruined the gaskets/seals ?

no driving it that distance won't hurt the gaskets or anything. If it's leaking out the valve covers then you should see if you can still get the asbestos style gaskets that were available a long time ago. Silicone won't work unless you have headers as the manifolds will heat the covers up and burn the silicone off...
