Re: Oil breather

Thanks Steve/bigherb, it could well be the fuel pump, it's all new to me so still finding where things are located. I'll crawl under and have another look tomorrow and if it's different to your pics I'll post a photo. It is already running an electric fuel pump feeding twin webbers

Oil breather

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but I've just bought my first T25 (t3?) an Aircooled 2.0 holdsworth villa 1. All seems to be fine but after a short run today I parked on the slope of my drive, nose down. After a while I noticed oil dripping onto the drive from what I assume is the oil breathe...
