Hi guys!
Does anyone had problem/experience with crankcase breathing problem?
Because I'm having issues with it. In the breather tube (from the camshaft cover) the crankcase casses are too ''rich'' to much oil getting into the intake tubing.
What's could be to problem and could this thing light up the MIL?
 
How many miles on the engine? Has the oil been replaced at the correct intervals? Has the correct grade of oil been used?
Too much oil mist from the breather suggests engine wears, but a small amount is normal.
 
The engine runs on a bit thicker oil, 15w 40 and has around 270k km on it (160k miles). Since the last oil change it drove around 60 kms.
In this case through the breather tubing oil is dripping.

Put automatic transmission oil in it 50/50 mix with 10w 40

15w40 is fine.
The breather shouldn't drip oil, so there's clearly an issue.
What happens is the crankcase pressurised?
