Hi
I have a problem with an oil leak ive changed the crank oil seal twice now (flywheel end). Could i have a problem with crank case pressure? The van 1.9 DG running on LPG (Vega engine 3 years old 30000miles). I have adapated the air intake to give the LPG a nuetral air flow. Ive got rid of most of the air intake pluming just an aftermarket airfilter stright to the boxinglove on top of the carb. Could this have changed the amount of suction for the breather?

any coments would help
Nik

Easy enough to check, just take the breather hose off the air inlet when it is running (and fully warmed up) and see if you can feel any excess amounts of gasses coming out of the pipe when you rev it a bit.

Also try blowing down the pipe (engine off of course :roll: ) to check that the breather tower is not blocked.
