empty it,
I'd recommend a catch tank if you are venting the breather to air, you can just run a pipe but if you having it venting under the bonnet you will smell the breather emissions / vapour in the cabin, the best method is a baffled tank located somewhere under the bonnet with the exit pipe venting out of the engine bay eg into the inner wing area this will stop you smelling the vapour, having a tank also allows you to keep an eye on what the engine is kicking out, lots of oil may suggest a problem, if you don't hae a tank to catch it you won't know how much oil is been thrown out.
I only seem to get a little water in mine (no oil), I hope is a normal byproduct of the internal combustion process, would you expect oil to be present on a XU with 83k on it?
