Yeah, I just watched that linked video, I'm not understanding the correlation.
I watched another video from fixmyeuro. That makes some sense with pressurizing the crankcase but I don't have any oil leaks.
Still the same issue?

Watch the second video. There is an ‘outer’ seal, **and** an ‘inner’ seal.

The space between the two is exposed to ‘crankcase pressure’... If the outer seal fails, then oil leak to the exterior.... But if the issue is the inner seal, the oil doesn’t leak out- it leaks into the intake tract.

I think. Mine is fine so far.
