If you can unscrew it without breaking it, and can blow through it, it is
clear. If you can then replace it without breaking it all well and good.
If not you will end up getting a new one, but check *that* is clear before
fitting it! Leaks from the input shaft oil seal are probably a bad seal
and/or lip it runs on.

> I have noticed a small drip coming from the front of the axle (rebuilt
last year) on my '71 MGB and read that you should priodically clean the
breather. I found a small plastic upside down cuplike thing attached to the
top of the RH side of the axle.
