in a nutshell you have to take the inlet manifold off. there's a plastic bottle there with pipes. remove and replace. the pipework going into the engine block is where you'll find a lot of gunk. clean this out thoroughly.

click for the best guide i've seen so far

best to replace i think not clean. as above it's mostly under the inlet manifold not a terrible job

Don't try and clean it, contact one of our fellow members, otherwise known as "Rufe" and get new bits.

They aren't expensive and you will be safe and secure in the knowledge that your rear main oil seal will hopefully live to seal another day!!!
