Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0870907A1] The system comprises a pipe (3) leading from the crankcase to an outlet in the engine intake pipe. The crankcase (2) contains a second pipe (4), the air inlets (6, 8) of the two pipes being so situated that with the vehicle level one at least of them is above the level (7) of the oil in the sump (5). When the oil in the sump shifts due to travelling over a steep slope, one at least of these inlets is below the oil level. When in the horizontal position a section (18) of the second pipe can protrude into the sump, this section joining onto a standpipe (17) to which the first pipe is connected.
