Default please help engine breather

just a couple of questions my breather tank has 4 outlets on the top and one on the bottom
1 for the little k&n
2 for the rocker box breather
3 for the kidney box
4 ? does this go to the 17mm bolt under the turbo just above the sump? do i just get it drilled out and weld a pipe to it or does someone make a replacement?
and last of all the one at the bottom of the tank do i just block this off and use it to drain out the shit ?
thank guys

Hi,

4 will be the oil return to the sump and yes it is the 17mm hex plug on the block which drains back to the sump. I think Bailey can supply you with the plug with the pipe fitting on. Failing that I think it would be easy enough to get your local friendly garage to drill out a suitable size hole in your existing plug and braize a piece of pipe the right size to get your hose onto.

The large hose at the bottom of the breather just vents to atmosphere, and needs to be tucked down out of the way. If you get it in the wrong place this can smell a bit inside the car!!

CheeRS, Mike
