Something not right here 
Noticed tonight oil had been leaking from the car onto the drive. Had a look under the bonnet and the breather hose has been pissing oil out !
I have hammered it a bit over the last couple of days , driving a bit harder than I ever have 
Would this be the cause or am I looking at something more sinister

if you say so. never seen that thread before in my life.
if you got alot of oil out a breather you got problems simple as. been driving a rebuilt let for 10k+ now like a cunt and only have a mist in the catch tank. if i had half a litre or so then ide be thinking what the fuck has happened here.

The harder you drive the more oil will come out. I suggest an oil catch tank. At least you can then see exactly how much oil is pissing out as you drive.
