Is there a breather to keep the crankcase depressurized to keep oil from pushing out of the gaskets? I have ordered the flange repair kit for the oil level flange but I do know that if something is causing pressure to build up in the crankcase it won't last. I say that because it was leaking really badly the other day that it was leaving a pool of oil when my son was backing up. I later started it so I can take a picture of what it was doing and it wasn't leaking anymore. I am guessing I had excessive pressure pushing the oil that was seeping down the inside of the pan out through the flange seals.

Thanks!

The breather is on the drivers side valve cover and goes up into the turbo intake hose.

Is this a foam filter I can change out if it gets plugged up or dirty?

No it's metal and it is inside that little box on top of the Valve cover...I soaked mine in diesel for while then rinsed it with water before using air to blow it out....You should replace the o-rings on the screws and the bottom of the box where it meets the Valve cover or you will get a leak...
