Breathers

Recommended Posts

Guest kuipers23

Have been concerned about my head gasket for a while.

 

Have performed all the usual checks and I think the gasket is fine. I only lose a little water and I know there is a leak in my radiator. I have know smoke after it is warm and the oil is nice and black.

 

How ever...

 

I still have a mayo build up in the oil cap.

 

Where are the breathers so I can clean them to try and prevent the build up?

 

Thanks

I have also noticed that my filler cap is worn. The rubber falling apart. Would this be a cause?

the filler is the breather (the pot and all the pipes leading to it.. which is why you get mayo in it..

 

crap design IMO, so im getting something different for my car.

(crap in as much as it can allow the mayo into the system, but for 'green' reasons they are good. lol)
