The deflector plate is there to limit oil mist in the breather. It's an important part to have there. The chunks are probably just dried out crud that has settled there over the decades. It can, and should, be washed out. If the box is rusting thru then you will have to replace it, but if it is just surface rust then it is no problem; just wipe some oil on it to stop the rusting. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
