    series 3 2.3 diesel

    Need to see where it’s coming from before breather ie an uncovered oil hole in rocker shaft as an example

    series 3 2.3 diesel

    Something must be missing or broken or reassembled wrong , I would advise taking cover off take a pic not running and with running to see where it’s coming from

    series 3 2.3 diesel

    So it there a pressure of gases coming with the oil , or oil squirts under pressure You might have to run it with cover off to get a better idea of what’s going on , take bonnet off, cover everything else in old sheets / cardboard

    series 3 2.3 diesel

    With cap off is It a proper blow you can feel with your hand or oil drops splashing out when engine running , oil gets pumped to rocker shaft and each rocker so not unusual for oil to get splashed about as that would be normal lubrication

    Series 3 New fuel tank in

    Theoretically without the gauze, it could pull up pea sized crud and block the pipe before it gets to inline filter?
