Post a pic....if it vents in the engine bay you'll just oil up the whole area and be a dust and sludge collector. But...hey, it's YOUR ride....
I kept a breather like that on my turbo....kept meaning to re-route it and had the waste gate get stuck....spayed oil all over. Live and learn....had the lines and stuff sitting on a shelf, I was just lazy. I pulled the intake off to seal air leaks and did the clean up then....long job to do something I shouldn't have had to do if I had simply taken 10 minutes to do it right the first time. |
