Octavia vrs breathing oil vapour very heavy even on idle

Featured Replies

2013 diesel cupa engine code (I think). I've noticed on long runs the engine is breathing heavy and I have oil misting around the dipstick area. Took the breather pipe off the top off the rocker cover to the intake pipe and its blowing out on idle quite a lot. Cars been looked after correctly all its life and done only 50k. No other problems and drives perfect.

Is there a separate crankcase breather system on this engine and if so where is it ?

Regards

Do you think this is excessive as it also causes smoke misting around the dipstick area
