Hi Everyone
My Defender has 300tdi conversion possibly engine from a Discovery. I took off the air filter housing for a cleanup and started the vehicle to check something else and noticed that bit of water was coming out of the crankcase breather hose? It started and runs fine and there isnt any collant loss or water in the engine oil. Please advise if it is normal or something to worry about. Thanks

If it is not staining the air filter then do not worry.

The crankcase breather hose is the one that goes from the top of the sump to the rocker cover - its about 8 inches long and stands vertically - now now I know some of you lot will have another picture in your head but I can't help you

The breather pipe you may be talking about goes from the rocker cover to the air inlet pipe and is fairly close to the turbo ?
