Question for those in the know....

Just completed a 5hour non stop trek to the inlaws, held a steady 60 / 65mph all the way so not thrashed it.... parked uplast night, this mroning small pool of oil {poss around table spoon full} on the road under the TD5 {year 2000}, looked under and there is a small 3 inch breather pipe mounted on the engine under the starter motor... this is where the oil appears to have come from, is this an engine breather ? crackcase breather ? gearbox ? fuel breater ??

Have googled it but cant find it and my trusty {although bit crap} Haynes manual is at home..... just interested as it has never breathed this much before...

{also posted this is engines TD5 section }

cheers

in thepicture you have two rubber tubes pictured, the one I have fluid {looks and feels like oil} is the shorter one of the two
