I did this on mine. Vauxhall had the o rings and the seal. I got them before I started but in actual fact when I took it all apart I think the rings and seal were fine.
I'd take it apart, give it all a good blow out and examine the rings and seal. You will probably find loads of mayo in the breather bridge assembly. Put it all back together and see how it goes.
Easy job but you will need the hose clip pliers for the 4 pipes that go onto the bridge.

If you go on to take the plenum off I didn't change the seals on that either, just flipped them over.  :)

After that way you will also drain out any cleaner and crud that you might knock down into the sump :y
