Question

il leak besides oil breather. Put new breather still oil besides and underneath the breather which after few days will drop underneath. Any suggestions?

Answer

If it’s high mileage, or a patchy service history, you could have bore wear leading to blow-by and crankcase compression. Get a cylinder compression check in the first instance. If all are within acceptable limits, check the whole breather system for blockages.
