2.1 MV digifant petrol in a 1991 syncro doka.

I am still a bit flummoxed by the complexity of the 2.1 over my 1.9DG (in the camper). I'm having a messy oil loss problem, which I have pinpointed to the filler tube, which is spluttering oil back out when I'm driving. It's not in quantities that is causing a worrying loss in the engine, but it's enough to leave a very noticeable mark on the road when parked and to smell it burning off the exhaust while at lights etc. Is this a vacume or pressure problem perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

check your crank breather is not blocked and the crank breather hose has not collapsed or kinked

Thanks Kev, I'll get onto that!

Ah, I was bemused by the straightness of it! Sure enough, it was limp and sticky. New one duly ordered from Brickwerks.
