⚙️ Key Features

• 0.156 kg
• Supersedes part number 22010557
• Listed for four TAD series engine applications

🔌 Function

Vents crankcase pressure away from the engine, carrying blow-by gas to its outlet so pressure does not build behind the seals and gaskets.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil leaks appearing at several seals and gaskets at once, from trapped crankcase pressure
• Oil mist or a wet, oily film around the breather outlet
• Dipstick or oil filler cap being pushed up or blown off
• Pipe blocked with sludge or emulsion, particularly after short, cold running
• Pipe cracked, chafed or split, or its connection found loose on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clear or renew the pipe if it is sludged, since a blocked breather is a common cause of leaks blamed on the seals
• Check crankcase pressure and the breather filter before condemning other gaskets
• Look for the underlying cause if the pipe is heavily oiled, as high blow-by points at engine condition rather than at the pipe
