spadam 7 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 You should really have a catch tank or have recirculating back into the intake hose. Its oil vapor that you are seeing. Link to post Share on other sites
Gazbarber1982 3 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Nothin to worry about. You'll probably get the smell of hot oil in your car though!! Link to post Share on other sites
Vw_owner 1 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 if your bothered by it just replace it with what should be there, i recently had to replace mine as it was split underneith and was dripping oil on to the exhaust manifold, Breather Hose 021103493A that fits my corrado vr6 not sure if its the same for mk3 golf vr6? just google search the number and your see.

Goguvarra 0 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Asked for this in another thread but...is that where the filter should be ? I mean does it also take air back into the crankcase ? If not it would just filter out your oil vapors right ? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 no the crankcase will have positive pressure, but the filter is needed so you dont get anything falling into the hole and inside your engine.with just a filter it will smoke and steam and will stink and gas you out, if you can tolerate this then leave it as it is it wont do anything untoward to your engine apart from maybe affect fuelling as its supposed to be a sealed system and the air it is now venting to atmosphere the ecu has accounted for in the MAF Link to post Share on other sites
