The breather was completely full of gunk so i cleaned it out as well as possible and then used a paperclip to get up under the lip and clean out the junk that was blocking it. It has stopped all the oil leak problems and now all I have to do is work out how to get all the oil out from around the fan. I was going to remove the breather to really clean it but that sounds a bit tricky-are there bolts which are inaccessible without removing the fan housing ? (which i understand you can't remove without removing the exhaust) andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org </x-charset>
