Areet people, right here's the problem, ive got a pipercross induction kit for my furio, but when it is on the oil leaks because there's a gap between the oil breather pipe and the air filter connection. Well ive just bought an oil breather vent filter to solve the oil leaking problem, but now i dunno if i shud tape up the previous connection or what??
cheers

I have one of these on my furio, it reaches you just have to pull it on, and it will kindda click in place. It is a tight fit tho so I know where your comming from. You just need to block that pipe now, I dono what to use tho? a tight rubber gromit maybe?

I have tried but there's just always a little bit of oil, hence buyin this oil breather filter... it's not likely to damage the engine or anythin if i jst tape over the hole?

No it will be fine, just need to make sure you use something that can take the engine heat.
how much oil is comin out? Did you notice it on the floor?

It's normally just a bit of a drip but at the end of the day it's still leaking... i'll just use some insulating tape or something like that which is strong etc

yea should be fine, just wondering how much oil is coming out as I havn't noticed it on mine. When you had it connected did the breather pipe click on properly?

No not really, as i say there's a gap where oil can escape

thanks
