Running into same issue as doubles. It's slow leaking out between the valve cover and the breather. Going to contact VTT as this is not an acceptable amount of leakage. This is after cleaning it up roughly 2-3 weeks ago.

Yeah I'm only using mine on tracks days or group cruises with the boys. It's not a daily mod.

well that sux bro! hopefully they either send you another one or i dunno

I am experiencing same issue... So it looks like to be an issue with the design.

I emailed them and they said they'll send a new gasket, I pay for shipping. If it's just a gasket, I can't imagine shipping being much so I didn't bother arguing. The thing I'm wondering is, what gasket. The breather I got didn't have any visible gasket, so maybe this is a new addition to the breather?

Yea, it looks like due to how the cap is slanted, the oil pools on the lower side of the cap area, which means slowly over time it leaks out. I feel like a gasket would solve this issue though.

Edit: There's a gasket on the bottom of the breather, not sure how I didn't spot it. I might double up on the gaskets and see if I can still get it to sit, maybe it'll stop leaking then...

Shipping was 7.50, just a FYI. Kinda steep for what they're shipping but meh

Typical small package min charge, probably wouldn't have cost you more to ship 8 of them in the same package.

Or they just didn't want to use USPS. Stick it in an envelop and you can mail it for cents.

That what I used. They might just be a bit slow. Make sure to take pictures of the leak with the breather on, otherwise they might just go "oh that is due to you removing the breather yada yada"

Not that you'll do this, and I'm 100% sure you won't, but just like, hypothetically, you could dripple some oil onto that lower "ledge" and make it "leak".

But you'd never do something like that. Never.

Or I'll just wait and see if it spills again.

I'm certain it will. I think all it takes is some more spirited driving and it starts leaking.

[ziekxq]

Funny... if we were promoting VTT product we wouldn't be complaining about it lol.

Guys, we are running into oil leak problem with the breather is because we were suppose to take the gasket off of the original oil cap and place it on the VTT breather:

[ziekxq]

Hmm did someone contact admin on the dollar bill guy? Lol, seems like all conversation disappeared.

Well I guess it was just $7.5 lol now you have two gaskets... Maybe sell it and make money back.

I'm sure it was all a conspiracy by the shipping companies trying to figure out more ways to get people to ship with them, none of you exist. Everyone is just talking to bots.
