300tdiOil Leak

border · Nov 7, 2019

Now I thought I had found the Leak as the top of breather where it goes in to side near rocker cover was caked in oil as was the whole side of block. Jet washed it down and cleaned it all up. days later still clean.
After looking again underneath looks like its the bottom hose coming out of Breather in Pic, could be the Culprit, Will try and get another hose on this weekend, I did order O Ring for the Breather so might as well take it off and give it a good clean while Im on.
Is this a Common place where they leak, or could it be coming from somewhere else ??

If the breather is blocked then yes the sump compression would try to breathe anywhere it could including oil seals so definitely check the breather,

The hose looks similar to my 200tdi. That leaked where the hose clip cut into it at the sump end.

Will Take Breather and hoses off and clean, then see if it still leaks. That hose looks really hard to get to where it joins engine at bottom,

Just another Query that's bugging me, please forgive me there's probably a simple answer to this, But once Ive sorted leak, Im gonna change all filters and oil.
My query is why is there 2 different sump plug washers in the filter kits ? Do you use both of them.
Thanks

Nope, you only need one not both

Thanks are they both the same size then , or does it depend which plug I have.

I'll be honest I've never replaced mine

Suppose I can just see which one is on now, then replace with same one from kit.

I've always reused mine and it's never leaked or dripped
