   as above its a getting on my nerves now every time i do a long journey and park up oil and a lot of it comes running out of the air box. I know that oil does go through the breathers. but fork me not that much it is a 106gti with 98k on the clock and it does use/leak a bit of oil

   my 1.1 leaks oil from the airbox but thats because I snapped the pipe from the breather hose going to it. dont know where the oil is coming from but i need a proper breather set up
