Yeah my SD does that as well. I always assumed it was just the massive amounts of blow by getting caught up in the filter.

I'm hoping you mean white vapour (dissapetes immediately) as white smoke isn't normal , -EVER- , it indicates oil burning .
I dunno what your routine driving is nor oil change intervals but they shouldn't be over 3,000 miles and less in winter when short hop driving causes lots of water to condense into the oil , always do them engine _HOT_ ~ very important . My old '78 air filter was just wet with oil , so much so I had to remove the entire housing and de-grease it . after a few oil changes and etc. it no longer pukes oil out the breather... -Nate Quote:

Anyway , maybe you're running the engine a little bit faster by holding the throttle down & delaying upshifts ? . (grasping @ straws here)

I find that when I delay my upshifts by heavy throttle , more oil mist comes out the breather tube....
This is normal if a bit of a PIA in older cars where the oil mist is greater anyway .

a mechanic said....
I had a similar problem PCV problem in a Jeep I had (return line was plugged). My 300D has a little leakage around the hose leading to the airbox (I have the new style flat one) and I spoke to a mechanic who said there is a rubber fitting or baffle of some sort inside the valve cover that might need to be re-epoxied back to the top of the valve cover.... but thats what he said... maybe it'll help you move in the right direction.
