madmanncfc Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 The small pipe going into the left hand side of the air box is the oil breather pipe.The oil has probably come up through that pipe and it's normal for it to do so.As long as the cars running fine then there's no reason to worry.

8ballvmax Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 just checked both of mine and there the same, normal although i dont like the idea of oily air being sucked into the throttle body?????? could a crankcase breather filter/ catch tank be fitted????
