Excessive oil from CCV

Also don't cheap out on master cylinders, I hear the cheap ones don't last long before they leak. I bought Bearmach master and slave cylinders, slave is going well. Didn't touch the master for fear of starting something that will never end...

If you are really serious some people recommend sleeving the rod to prevent wear (and leaks).

The catch can is pretty simple in design. The crank case vents into the catch can, the oily air hits a angle bit and the oil drips down back into the drain and the air continues over and out.

Maybe your rocker cover vent is blocked and creating too much pressure?

rocker cover vent

The what now? that's a new one for me.

Look on your rocker cover, there is a 8mm hose that pipes back into your intake. Check it for blockages.

You are not turbo'd are you?

is that what that hose is? I'd wondered about that.

no turbo for me. I'd need a new gearbox and much bigger bank account before doing that!
