Hello,
I'm getting water in my 200TDi Cyclone Breather which is resulting in the breather pipe to my air intake being filled with spunk. I've followed Busters cyclone cleaning guide here (http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f41/cyclone-breather-76543.html) assuming that some moisture may have worked its way into there during the engine conversion, but there's still 'new' water getting into there from somewhere. I am not loosing any coolant what so ever, nor is the header tank bubbling or pressuring up as if the head gasket were leaking. There is no sign of water amongst the remnants of oil under the rocker cover, nor in the bulk of the oil in the sump. I've whipped off the CAF pipe between my K&N like filter and the turbo, and the internals of the pipe are a little oily as you'd expect, along with a few small droplets of water, which I don't want sucking into the engine. Could it just be condensation that is forming or is there likely more to it? The head gasket was replaced about 1,500 miles ago, and the head was skimmed, but there are zero signs of head gasket failure, and the head appeared to be in good condition.
Any ideas?
