You can hear some air noise when you take the filler cap off, but I can't feel any airflow there. Hoping it's not leaking to there as guess that's a more serious engine failure. Piston rings knackered or something?!
I'm going to get some smoke matches to try filling the intake with smoke and then put it under pressure and see if I can spot the leak then.
I could also do with getting it out for a drive to check if any symptoms have changed / improved after changing the seals but I'm mid wheel bearing change and waiting for a couple of parts so driving it is probably going to have to wait till after the weekend.
