Is it connected the rocker cover outlet or the block breather or have they be oined togehter?

Why not connect a bit of hose to the outlet and put it into an old bottle to collect the crap. Shouldnt be a great deal coming out, If you get loads in the bottle youve more than likely got a prob with your engine

Fit a remote oil catch tank mate then you can see how much it chucks out over an amount of time. Pretty cheap on ebay and most have 2 unions so you can fit a breather onto that aswell

That one will be ideal mate.

Connect breather from rocker cover to that and fit filter on the other outlet :thumbsup:

Ive got one to go on mine but not fitted it yet. Crankcase breahter is below the exh manifold and attaches to the inlet so if your still running standard inlet you dont need to worry about that.

Will still be ok to drive just done give it full chat till you get the catch tank.

Keep and eye on the oil level, can empty quite quick :banghead:

Can be a few things mate. High crank case pressure, worn piston rings ect. Prob nothing major if only doing it under heavy load.

When was the oil last changed?

Maybe give the engine a flush when you next change the oil and fit a decent fully synthetic oil.

I see halfords had 5l of mobile fully synthetic 5/30 in the other day for about £23

No worries mate. Invest in a good quality engine flush and do that aswell. I always do it when i get a new car as you never really know how well its been looked after.

Yeah mate just pour it in, run engine on idle for about 5-10 mins then drain it out with the oil, take it easy for about 10-20 miles after you put new oil in.

Hopefully that will reduce the oil spat out the breather.
