[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 622452, member: 20098"] This is not the easiest thing to take a photo of whilst in situ... [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200630/4f7d4f69fc56ae594b9d13afe82e6f39.jpg[/IMG] Hopefully you can see that with the breather hose outlet positioned as per the original photos (in the 12 o’clock position), the opening into it sits around the 10 o’clock position. If this fills with oil over time, which it will, it will fill to the level at the bottom of the opening, and then any excess will drain back into the engine. If I rotate the breather into the OG position with the hose outlet at the 9 o’clock position, the opening is now at 7 o’clock and when this fills with oil, it blocks it off entirely. I’d be interested to see the internals of a standard item to compare. The oil sitting on the nut isn’t the issue, it is the oil sitting where the filler halves are crimped together - either it shouldn’t sit here, or the filler shouldn’t allow it to leak.
