Which way is the right way?

[superloopy]

I'm just messing underbonnet (xantia TD) and took iff what looks to be a breather pipe banjo not realising it looks to be 'sided' when it come to refitting. One pipe is marked 'K' the other 'F' and looking inside each one it looks to need fitting the correct way around?
Any ideas?

It came off here ...

A bit oily around and inside that pipe ... should it be? I'm thinking that maybe the breather pipe has been incorrectly fitted earlier maybe not allowing oil to drain back which i assume to be its function?

F goes into the big pipe, all my Xuds have been fitted this way.
Pipes do get a bit oily, pouring is a problem whereas coated is not.
That ufo part can be replaced cheaply, I've forgotten what it's called and does.



It's nice to see your rocker leaking too, I get depressed about mine sometimes.

I've fitted it like this ...


and yes ... that rocker cover needs a fresh gasket [emoji1]

Oil blow-by recirculator ? By the looks of it....if so, then yes it should be a tad oily, obviously not dripping, and I'm *guessing* the "UFO" bit does a bit of baffling/moisturizing....

That's fitted the same way as all of mine, should be alright.

It's actually a control valve designed to maintain a negative pressure in the crankcase.

Without it you will get oil blowing past the various seals and gaskets, particularly the cam box gasket on the Citroen diesels.

Just had another look at it. It's got a spring inside??
