always good to learn new things think this link explains it pretty well

im adding one because at the moment my crankcase breathes to atmosphere which smells and leaves an oily residue in the engine bay.

im just doing all the little things that make the car right and more of a joy to drive long distance

Wow that catch tank looks awesome mate. Gonna make that engine bay even better (if that's possible)
