In any event, it's part of the system and can't be overlooked.

I will have a look, but it has not been near water or off road for that matter recently.
All still good, it seems to be fine now all very odd.

Just curious, but I know with the early Prado 120's with the D4d's they had a similar problem of blow-by with faulty injector seals. This caused some major issues as the leaking gases pass the injector seal reacted with the engine oil in the rocker cover and turns the oil to a Sludge type of stuff in the sump. The Oil Pump sucks this sludge up and it eventually clogs the stainless steel mesh on the oil pickup, resulting in no engine lubrication and therefore one stuffed engine. My question is if u have leaky injector seals in these puma engines, can the same thing happen with these engines? I've never read of any, but I am curious to know if anything like that has happened with any of the pumas....
