Whilst investigating the source of my persistent oil dribble, I believe I've found the source.
There is a round, hard plastic pipe that goes to the inlet pipe from the side of the block, along with a smaller pipe, this larger pipe is broken(it looks bodged to be fair as the quality of the plastic feels crap). It is the pipe you can see running across the front of the engine and round the side.
30421 I believe this to be part of the pcv system is that right?
Would I be better off replacing the full system and is this a job for a fairly competent DIY mechanic?

Thanks in advance

Yes just replace it.
It comes as part of the kit and runs to the valve on the turbo intake pipe

Nice one, cheers buddy. Is it as simple as it looks? Inlet off to access?

Yep that's it bud inlet off Remove old and fit new just check all openings in the block are clear and not blocked up

Also make sure the valve is clear as they are prone to blocking then causes the pipe work to leak.

Scrap that last question. You mean the actual pcv lol. Just reread it. I'll replace the lot I think

Yeah I've read about that one. Brake cleaner to clear it apparently. Will be taking it all of when I do it and making sure it's properly clear, intake the lot. Cheers for the advice
