So, I'm itching to remove my oil separater box/breather box and give it a significant cleaning or possibly replace it if it seems extremely crudded up with gunk.

I have got a slight leak, nothing too bad. Every month or two I end up adding half a quart or less of oil. I actually think(from looking underneath) that my transmission(manual) is leaking near the cluth cable shift boot but that is another topic.

As for oil separater box, I've been eyeing it up and am a little perplexed as to the best method to remove it. I can not find any information on how to remove it in either the Bentley bible or the service manual. I have looked at a few old threads here on the brickboard, but none touch on the actual removal. They are extremely helpful as to the best attack method for getting the crud out of the box, though.

Looking at it from above it looks to me like I'd have to remove the entire intake manifold(yikes). I'm thinking from underneath is the way to go. Please correct me or enlighten me, as I am unawares.

Thanks,
marc
