The breather system is gunked up badly mate. One issue I had noticed. I get some oil residue on crankcase from oil filler cap. Any suggestions on how to clean full breather system? I just fitted a catch tank to help but that looks clogged now

Could be caused by blow by due to engine wear. Do a compression test
