I've fitted a baby K&N filter on the end of the thick pipe that used to fit to the underside if the standard air filter housing. Off crank case??

Anyway, I'm taking it the oil vapour that comes out is normal?

Problem is, if it is normal, the oil vapour is making a right bloody mess!!!!

Is this what one of those oil catchment tanks are for?

Anyone else use them?

extend this pipe and have it under the body so all the oil vapors goes away !
Be careful , this is NOT legal and NOT environmentally friendly !
