I go with Turboman on it being more important to protect inside than out. raywin I just extended vent pipe from where it joined aircleaner and reduced the end to fit an existing hole in chassis. One drawback was leaving drips of oil on someones posh driveway, oops.
I'm not allowed anywhere posh in my Landy,
I wondered if the oil drip thing would happen especially with theTD5 which seems to blow out a bit of oil, I have seen some oil separators which fit in older engines, and also BMW and Merc engines, probably wont stop is completely but I wondered if fitting one in line then venting to the chassis might make the problem manageable.
Was that the only problem you found? i.e. you didn't get smoke pouring out of the chassis and gassing pedestrians at the traffic lights?
I have a few more pressing things to do soon as the weather improves ( need new camshaft ) but I want to give this idea a try as soon as I can get some time.
Turboman
As it happens, there is a classic car place outside Doncaster that is supposed to be very good. Muds is going up there shortly to have her Defender done.
You can get primer that is as good as red lead, but not in the shops
I use Corroless, used on oil rigs and steel bridges, it is excellent, but I order it from a supplier upcountry and get it delivered down.
Thanks I will take a look at the classic car place I think I know it.
Re the not in shops thing I remember when I could get stuff like that, and when I used to have access to a well equipped maintenance shop, we made all kind of parts for cars, washing machines, even lawn mowers just because we had some time on afternoon shifts,
and we were all skint.
