RX Breather Issue

Can somebody help me understand why my breather cap is soiled with oil after only a few weeks of use?

I thought the breather had a checkvalve that was suppose to prevent oil from coming out? Only air is suppose to go in, correct?

I was thinking that maybe maybe I got a poorly manufactured piece because when I ordered, there was a backlog of breather caps from their suppliers. This may have created a rush to fabricate mine.

BTW, I have a V6 and capped off the fresh air makeup line.

Have you asked Tracy? You may have got a faulty valve. It happens.

Yeah, my first one did the same thing. I just opened up the fresh-air line and put the original cap on until Tracey could send another one. If you need his email address just PM me.
