Hi all I could do with a bit of help.... please bare with me on this, I went to national day on Sunday & while in 4th & 5th around 60-70 mph all was fine, soon as I gave it a bit & then let off I would get a mist of white smoke out the vent drivers side? Happens only when at those speeds not when in 1st 2nd etc (unless I never noticed) when I got to donington had a look under the bonnet & it looked like oil had spat out the catch tank on to the inner wing where the filter is... it’s a spec R breather system I’ve not long fitted, I had a bailey on b4 that with no issues??? Any help would be great.

Can't see the pic at work but in 4th and 5th the engine is under the most load so working harder, sounds like you are overloading the breather system (worn engine) or the breather system is not effeceint enough, ie a crap design

I’m guessing with the bailey 1 I had on I wouldn’t of noticed as it vented under the car... even if it was doing the same. I’ve had the car 17 yrs & it’s only just done 50,000 I’m not saying in don’t drive it like I stole it from time to time... because that’s what they are for!!! But if I do 500 miles a yr I’d eat my hat!!!
