Title: oil problem
Post by: gti_chris21 on 08 March 2010, 17:00

put a 16v in my driver runs and everything only problem is there was a pipe goin from the engine to the airbox apparently oil was goin into the airbox from this so the previous owner put a breather on the pipe instead of it goin to the airbox. the problem is when ticking over its fine once you press the accelerator oil comes flyin out of this, anyone know what causing this?????

thanks

Blocked gauze inside rocker cover?

Had a similar thing recently, gave it a good clean and loads better

the 16v can breathe a bit heavily, so it should be plumbed into the airbox. if you're fed up of cleaning out the airbox all the time run a catch tank to it inline, that'll catch the oil, just have to remember to emptry it from time to time
