PLEASE .........do tell about this diaphragm-valve  thing inside the oil
breather tower
On a waterboxer vanagon.
Where did you get that ? 

And where are the vacuum lines or whatever that go to the diaphragm operated
valve ? 
I have enough of them to cut one open on a table saw if need be.

Is this a Friday thing ?

Subject: Breather tower test?

In that the crankcase breather tower isn't just an oil separator, and
has a diaphragm operated valve inside, is there a way of testing these
things or do we just assume that after 20 or so years the diaphragm is
likely bad and replace the tower ... for something like $90.00?
