How do you clean an engine breather pipe?
A breather filter is sometimes fitted inside one of the shaped pipes. After cleaning the filter in paraffin, dry it thoroughly with blasts of air from a foot pump. Clean the breather filter by immersing it fully in paraffin. Allow it to soak for some time to dissolve any oil and sludge inside.
Do you need a breather filter on a catch can?
you use a sealed catch can with no breather/filter if you want to still use a valvecover mounted pcv valve without oil getting into the intake mani. for this you would run the pcv valve side hose to one port on the can, and the intake mani side pcv hose to the other port on the can.

What does it mean when your crankcase breather is blowing oil?
If your crankcase breather is passing oil, chances are that something’s wrong (Okay, we know something’s wrong, but don’t be too alarmed). Here are some things to look for while you’re searching for the source of the issue:
How does the engine breather system reduce oil consumption?
The oil/air mix will force its way out through any other convenient exit e.g. oil seals, dip stick, filler cap, etc. The efficiency of the oil control rings will be reduced creating increased oil consumption.
Do you need to change the engine breather system?
For all moderate stages of engine tune, the standard PCV system should cope with the increase in engine power whilst continuing to control the emissions from the crankcase. However, even on a fairly new car, the system should be thoroughly checked and any suspect valves, hoses, etc. replaced.

What do you need to know about engine breather system?
These tanks should have a minimum 1 litre capacity, 2 top inlet connections (1 crankcase vent and 1 valve/cam cover vent), a sight gauge (to indicate the level of any oil inside) and a bottom plug or tap to allow the oil to be drained off when necessary.

What causes oil loss through the breather system?
This will result in oil loss through the breather system and also past the oil control rings, the latter causing further problems e.g. plug fouling, power loss, etc. 2) Any filler or breather aperture should be baffled, especially if it is above or adjacent to rotating parts.
