Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi, After checking thr oil level via the dip stick, I had a look round my engine. All the usual stuff, like excessively rust exhaust bolts were noted, but I noticed two things. One I am not sure about, the other concerned me. Should this pipe connect to anything, or it a just a breather?
It's the power steering fluid reservoir breather
Thanks Nick, I thought it didn't look too serious. And the other issue I saw was - Now the car was completely leak free when I bought it. I wonder whether the fact it was overfilled with oil when serviced could have brought this on? The pic is from underneath the engine, in the middle, towards the back. RMS? And I apologise for the poor typing in my previous post, I blame a dodgy keyboard[ ]
Yes, that looks like the RMS or IMS seal. It drips from this bolt:
the leak is not a fault its a 996 design feature to ensure the engine bay is well oiled to prevent corrosion [ ]
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
