Hose job

The 1998-99 turbodiesels had a simpler system; I believe the breather dumps into the tuno intake. The 1995-97 OM606NA was a disaster with all those hoses splitting into 12 little hoses (one for each intake valve). As Evan says, you end up with oil all over the valve cover. I posted pictures when I did mine, it was a real mess. See the pictures in post #10 of this thread.

Two of the oil ports were so clogged with soot and oil that they were completely blocked off. Once I defeated the EGR function that stopped.
