Oil staining on Outisde of boost hose.
Noticed that there is some oil stains on the outside of the boost hose from the filter to turbo. Could It be the rocker gasket is failing??? When is it required to fit a Breather??

i would fit a aftermarket breather at 330bhp tbh.
On the hose going from airfilter to turbo!? thats strange, might be rocker cover gasket spraying over but you should easily where it was leaking imo.

on my stage 3 saff i had the standard breather to atmosphere, because the airbox was removed, so the standard breather pipe terminated just above the throttle (next to rocker), and everything used to get covered in oil from the vapour
i fitted a bailey mirror image tank and kit, and the engine bay has been spotless ever since, top piece of kit

I'm thinking its just the gasket, I've whipped it all down now so should be able to see whats going on there with a bit of luck.
So you reckon theres no need for a breather at 300 ish?
