Subject:      Re: Leaky oil breather on 2Liter ACVW
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

On my beetle that has dual Webers I have adaptors in the top of each air filter housing. My crankcase breather is plumbed to them. See Gene Bergs for the adaptors that fit into the top of the air filters and the hose that fits them. They also have T's to split to each carburetor. Some people just plumb to one air filter, I went along with the recommendation to go to both.

If your crankcase blow-by is bad, bugpack makes a filter box to seperate the oil from the fumes, it may even come with the aforementioned air cleaner adaptors.
