Coming back with an old topic here. I checked the archives and didn't find any mods for the breather tower. Still getting oil in the intake boot. Is there supposed to be something in the tower on a 1.9 to keep out the oil and only pass the vapor? The engine doesn't get to hot but I do travel about 750 miles a week at speeds that vary from 55mph to upwards of 80mph and also climb a 6 degree grade every day. Last year I averaged 21.6mpg so I don't think there is any kind of a power problem in that the mileage is good and I can accelerate up the grade (so long as there is no head wind).
