    PCV issues

    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.

Size:  91.5 KB 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?

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

    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
