Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Bottle

[RClark]

I lowered the breather bottle to get it below the radiator. Now it has fallen off-somewhere. Anybody have any ideas as how to make a replacement?

Just extend the hose down to the sway bar and do not worry about it. SNOKING

I want to stop the oil from dripping on my driveway.

If you really have to have one. you can have mine. I'll even wash all the gunk off:-laf

The bottle is standard labware with vent holes punched in it. If you know someone who works with chemicals in a lab they can probably get one for you. Otherwise, look for labware on the internet.

I bet you could make something outta one of those large pill bottles. I had seen some type of breather on here somewhere made by fleetguard that seperates the oil from the crankcase vapors and returns it back to the pan thru that cup plug on the pass. side of the block down by the oil pan... . thats another option for ya I suppose, although probably a bit more expensive.

I used a small baby bottle when I did mine. I drilled 2 holes in the side and cut the nipple open big enough to stick the hose in. Then I mounted it sideways on the anti-sway bar. -Jason

I had made one out of 1 1/2in PVC pipe and two caps. drilled a hole in top cap to fit the hose and several vent holes. Paint it black if you like.

Just extend the hose down like stated. Mine does not drip any oil and if/when it does I guess I'll slide a piece of cardboard under the tube on the floor ala' 1975. LOL
