breather clogged replace

Check the seals on the intercooler, for oil to get in the pipes means that the seals are damaged and its loosing compression

You either have a clogged PCV system (positive crankcase ventilation) or you have a defective piston or piston ring.

run the fault codes.
check for a blocked PCV valve and hose.

overall the engine does not mean the problem is solved ! sorry. the oil coming out the breather means the engine is not breathing properly. if the arrangement of the rings on the piston is not correct , the engine will have a blow-by... causing sump compression... and push oil through the breather. also sludge blocking passages ie. the tappet cover, will also cause a problem.

I would recommend an oil change first and second I suggest that you get in the habit of checking and topping up the oil as it is critical that you keep the oil level correct. Less oil hotter oil hence smoke and possible engine failure

would need a look iam afraid as it sounds like its sucking the oil fumes as it should into the engine but its drawing too much as a filter is missing in or around the breather pipe area ,either that or its just been hammered and now its needs new rings and a valve guides ,without a good look myself i honestly couldnt say

may take about 100 miles before things get back to normal,if the plugs got oiled,try adding petrol additive(injector cleaner)in 5 gallons of petrol and you may be suprised how much smoke you kick out...(oil in exhaust system).

Hi , this sound like the engine breater is blocked. You will have to remove the air filter to gain access to this item, it is secured to the rocker cover by 4 x 5mm hex bolt screws. if you need any more assistance or help to remove this part just drop me a line . hope this is of help, regards mark
