Hi, I was Just wondering what damage can be done if the breather pipe comes off of the engine and the driver doesn't notice for a while.

Cheers

Not a great deal as it will normally be expelling crankcase pressure so shouldnt suck anything in

Thank you for your comment. I was wondering also if the breather hose not being on could be a reason for a noticeable amount of black smoke from the exhaust.

Cheers

Nope would make no difference to exhaust emmisions at all infact would make them better if your engine breaths oil as it would be going to atmosphere and not into the engine

If your engine has been breathing oil into your intake then id suggest taking a look at your air filter it may be clogged with oil and causing your black smoke

Cheers again for your help. I'll take a look at the filter in the morning.

Many thanks
