Hi, my 300Tdi on a 110 County, but originally from a Disco, was filling the intercooler with oil. After checking the turbo, which seems fine, and replacing the manifold gasket which was actually on its way out, the filling continued. The source was traced back to the cyclone unit. Doesn't seem to be any excess crankcase pressure when doing the oil filler cap trick, so I've cleaned the cyclone and it seems problem solved, except it didn't seem blocked.
I'd rather the problem doesn't come back, so I thought I should also clean the crankcase breather hose — except there isn't one on this engine — I've had this vehicle for 5 years now, done a good number of things on it, and never noticed. According to the manual, the crankcase breather hose (number 2 in the diagram) is connected from the crankcase outlet just behind the injector box, and up to the rocker cover between injectors 1 and 2. But on mine there's nothing, not even a place to connect a hose. Since there must be an alternative pathway to avoid excess pressure, can anyone tell me where it is?
Here is a copy of the manual about the breather system, and a photo of my rocker cover without any place for the breather hose (Sorry about the low quality of the pic, the cyclone pipe to the air intake was off temporarily when I took the pic, so just ignore that).
