Anyone got any pics of the breather system set up on a Omega V6???

I've got the job of changing the rocker covers plus gaskets on the old chaps T-reg 2.5 V6 Auto

Its only done just over 60K and is mint... the smell of burning oil is very off putting though and I really need to sort this problem once and for all now...

I've had it apart twice now, once with just new gaskets, second time with sealer added....

Now third and final time... new rocker covers, gaskets and sealer...
( Still debating on buying new covers from Vauxhall at £178 quid or fitting Vectra metal covers??? )  

While its apart been told to make sure the breather system is cleared out...
I know the 4 pipes at the back of the engine are part of it... They go off into a bigger breather pipe... But where does it go from the back of the engine, and is there anymore pipes I need to clear out???

One of the small breather pipes connects to a brass coloured 'nipple' on the breather assembly (this on the rear of the drivers side cylinder bank). Clean this nipple with a paper clip or similar size bit of stiff wire.

Remove the other tubers and wrap some cloth round a straightend metal coat hanger and give them a pull through. WD40 is a good cleaning agent for this.

I have never removed the breather box of the cylinder block though.

The black sealant is RTV silicone sealant. You have approx 5 to 10 mins to get the cover and gasket in place before it cures.
