Default Slobber bottle???

I'm not sure but I'm going to call it a "slobber bottle" on the front of the motor. It's what the breather tube goes into. Is there a way of emptying it out? I think mine has enough oil in it that it leaks and makes a mess on the front of the motor. Thanks.

yup its a gross thing but it will unthred from the lid or you can just remove the hole thing to clean it and then putit back in. i had to with mine... it was full and would leak down the front of my engine hit the fan and the hole engine compartment was...... a mess...

yeah you can do that to just buy the same size hose and run it all the way back. i planed on doing it but never did i was ganna have it run all the way to my rear bumper so the slobber didnt get on the bottom of my truck. but if not just clean the bottle and youll be good to go. note: i would clean it out every time you change your oil that way it stayes clean

Just use some 5/8 heater hose and run it down behind the front axle.
