I've noticed my gearbox is spitting small amounts of oil when on track so looking for a solution. Searching offers lots of options from a breather filter on a long pipe to a catch tank. What's the current consensus on the best solution in terms of a proper fitting and value for money? Cheers.

i have long pipe to one of these, oil has never come out since.  certainly value for money.......

That's my kind of value lol How did you connect to the box? I don't want a half arsed attachment ideally something screw in with a jubilee for the pipe. Also how long is the pipe you fitted?

As I understand it, you just need to fit the hose and there's no real need to fit a catch tank as the gearbox oil ought not reach the top of the hose..?

ha! price has gone up by a £1 as well..... brexit

 

just took off the plastic fitting thing and jubilee clipped the pipe on, hasn't fallen off in 3 years.

 

filter end is attached to the metal header tank holder, so not that long.

Sorry for sounding thick but clipped it to what?

pull off the plastic clip, push on the hose and tighten.

My garage was offended by my use of Hozelock and fitted a silicone hose and filter FOC.
