Guys.
We've had a pretty bad oil leak which i think i've resolved, so my problem may just be residual oil burning off the engine block etc.

However, I've jet washed the best I can, and I can't yet see any new oil leaks.

When coming to a standstill, I get a wiff of burning engine oil entering the cab.

It only happens when the fan is running, so I assume the fan is drawing air from the engine bay.

The car has done 75 miles since the jet wash, so i'd like to think it would have burnt off by now.

I guess i'll have to wait maybe a few hundred miles anyway, but was wondering if maybe there's a split breather hose anywhere ?

It's a 1.4 16v, I can see the short breather from the rocker cover to the manifold, are there any others ?

Thanks
 
Can this breather be opened up. It looks like it's clipped together, but is there anything in there which can be cleaned, and will it go back together.
I know it's not blocked, but worth using as my first starting point.
