Default uprated breathers, vent to atmosphere ????

Hi,

I have a bailey breather system fitted on my s2 erst but Im a bit unsure whether its fitted correctly. The pipe thats supposed to go to the bottom of the metering unit has a small breather filter attached and this vents to atmosphere, the metering unit nozzle has been blocked off. The problem is that I get loads of oil vapours coming out of the small filter and most of the time you can see the smoke coming out of the vent in my bonnet. After reading a set of fitting instructions I have discovered that this particular pipe should be fitted to the metering unit and not vent to atmosphere. Will this affect the running of the car at all and in what way ?

cheers, Duncan
