ok not sure what this thing is but here goes

i removed the pipes that go to the throttle, on the left side of the engine there is a metal block and there is a little hose joining it by plug1 i removed the plastic hose and looked in the metal hose end

i noticed inside was a funny looking metal spring its a kinda bronze colour and does not look like it should be there and it looks a funny shape??? what is it??

Is that the metal filter thing in the breather?

 

Do you mean the area I've circled in the photo?

[mariovr6 0]

it could be a strange type of filter?? its inside the metal blockk on the left side of engine

to me it looks more like very thin bits of copper in a ball

it's a small copper mesh filter to trap oil and prevent it from leaving the crankcase.

i think he means where the 2 water pipes enter the throttle body to supposedly cool it down

yes where you marked in the pic thats where it is inside the metal end? but on mine its also got a round plastic device the it joins the metal n its inside there you find that thing??

if its to stop oil then why am i getting a little bit of oil comming from there into the pipes? is that bad?
