Has anyone removed the crankcase breather hose's on this engine (XU7JP4) and replaced them?
car is a 1996 and getting a bit of oil from the filler cap, was thinking the breather might be blocked causing this. The hose's are rock hard and not flexible is this normal?
Thanks anyone.

Thanks, Going to get a pulley and hope. Does seem noisy around that area and considering age of car.

Thanks for reply. I'm not sure it is a solid pulley, it looks to me like this one which has the rubber insert.

Changing water pump too as sign of a lea...

Thanks for ideas. I'm confident at doing brake work, just my luck the unions wouldnt shift. Cutting pipe off and using a good socket will be my next attempt. Didnt think of re-routing the pipes though i'll have another look. cheers.
