You wont know if its stopped working
They will have oil in as thats what they do, seperate the oil from the crankcase vapour and return it to the sump via the bottom port.

Thats turbo oil seal failure-allowing engine to run out of control on the sump oil-you're lucky it did not destroy itself

For the price. Just buy a new one. Make shure it seals right in the rocker cover. I put a bit of gasket sealant on mine. Or it will leak like a good un.
