I hope the breather you speak of is the engine breather spraying oil all over your rocker top..?? We're taking about the gearbox breather which lives on top of the RWD MT-82 6speed gearbox fitted to a lot of the Mk7 2.4L machines...and I believe the Mk6 135TDCi RWD 6speed.

Hi, I'm also having this problem with oil spuing out of breather pipe. 60 plate 2.4Rwd HD. Third oil change and its still coming out. Local garage extended breather pipe high into engine bay, put this oil in upon guidance from Ford specialist

Still spuing out, right hand side of engine bay now has a lovely coating of oil, grrrr. Really driving me insane now! I'm not a mechanic so all these trips to garage and oil changes are becoming very costly! Any further advice from anyone would be extremely appreciated! Please help! Thanks
