Provent

Thankyou

I think I'll replace that breather pipe and clip and leave it as is for now

Some vehicles normally run negative crank case pressures,if the catch can is not serviced regularly or the filter element not replaced very regularly,increase of CC pressures can cause all sorts of issues.

Back to Epic's question,i would forget the catch can,and maybe tighten up the hose clips on the hose,the oil leak doesnt seem much of an issue.Just monitor it,the oil may have appeared over a long period of time which is probably normal.
Make sure the TD5 is serviced regularly,properly,and it will keep on ticking along.

I have a Provent. It stops the oil going through the inter cooler and into the turbo and then the engine. Easier to drain the Provent than to clean the inter cooler.

Certainly was more concerned with the sludge in intercooler etc. and rather than having to take this out and drain it regularly.

Using the fuel cutoff as the mounting spot for the simple bracket, basically just a strip of metal with four holes drilled and a small bend to take it off the firewall. SAAS sell 19mm (sure that's the size) hose suitable for the Provent (had a cheap one and although they look right, hmmm when actually comparing). This was genuinely less than a hour of work.

Orienting the pipes so as to use the original hose to the inlet manifold and the SAAS from the rocker cover with only a couple of cable ties.

Have left the drain hose as is at the moment, when it comes time to empty may cut it down and leave it down on the chassis rail then. One of the thought of just leaving the hose as it is, may even be a gauge as to when to change LOL !!!

Like the idea of a constant drain return coupled to the turbo oil return line but maybe sometime in the future.

Hi RRT,

Can you tell me more about the rather exotic looking manifold? cheers.
