just done up my vl turbo up a bit and its spittin oil out of the rocket cover breathers iv just got a fillter on the bit. It used to run into my air intake because of the intercooler pipeing and pod install. iv just put a air filter on the breather bit . do i have to put on a oil catch can? or is there another way around it? It only does it when boosting over a bummpy roads.

Get some fuel line, Connect it to the breathers and run it to the ground. Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Im using a coke bottle with fuel line off the rocker. Just cable tied it under the manifold. Then run the hose in there. Then when its full just pour it back into the engine. Cheers

so does mine, but no theres none under there and yes im 100 percent sure its called a rocker cover "Rocker Covers, in relation to the internal combustion engine, are covers that are bolted on over rocker arms. Called a valve cover in the United States.[1] In early engines, these covers did not exist. As the rocker arms are critical to having the intake and exhaust valves operate, it was necessary to keep them constantly oiled. With these early engines, they would have to be frequently oiled as the oil was constantly being thrown off or contaminated with dirt from the outside environment. The rocker cover was created to both keep the oil in, and the dirt out. This part is now found on virtually every existing internal combustion engine today."
