Hi Hazara, As you've guessed, blockages in these pipes can lead to positive crankcase pressure, which increases the likelyhood of oil leaks. As has been pointed out, yours appear to have been replaced by a copper tube! Cheers, Rick

Thanks chaps, Sounds like it may not be the disaster I thought it may be. Guy, I'll contact Scotts and see what I can come up with. I also have a first-class mechanic who loves the car if I run in to trouble! Thanks agian, Rick

My experience with my 72 is that if you get harsh changes when selecting a gear from neutral, it can be very bad for the diff. Some years ago one of my halfshafts was literally twisted off...I put it down to harsh shifting. The auto trans repair place did not want to fit a longer down-shift...
