 Post subject: engine breather
PostPosted: Mon Dec 15, 2014 2:29 pm 
Hi all,
im looking at a sprint for sale on ebay,
i have to go on the description as im to far away to view, the description says it spits a little oil out through the engine breather is this normal or is it a sign of another fault? It has had headgaskets replaced recently but i dont think this will be related, or will it?
at the moment its at a good price to be worth a punt i wonder if anyone on here knows the car? Its a yellow one in Mansfield.
cheers steve.

All cars spit a bit out but it depends how much, a clear video would be good. A headgasket would rarely affect the engine breather. Worn piston Rings is likely.
