[T3] oil breather cap and rattling motor


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Three strange things seem to have happened to me all at once and I'm
wondering if they're related.

First of all I noticed my car started leaking oil when it hadn't before.  I
lifted the motor cover to find that the oil breather cap had popped off
which seems to be the source of the leak.  Third the motor started making a
rattling sound, which at first I thought was the exhaust as it disappeared
with a little gas.  It is most pronounced at idle.  Other than that though
it seems to run fine.

Now I'm no mechanic (but I play one on TV! - forgive me, I've always wanted
to say that) but I'm always interested in what is causing my car to blow up,
even if I have no desire to disassemble it on the street out in front of my
apartment (where we had 2cm of snow this morning).  In the interest of good
neighbourly relations of course.

Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Thanks
