The sealed off chamber in the rocker cover does contain baffles-you can see them if get it at the right angle.

it contains a wire mesh which u can just about reach from one end
i dragged it out on mine and it was full of crap so next time a few of u have ur rocker cover off maybe worth checking and seeing if uve got any trees growing in there lol

I've decided to try and find out for sure if oil can enter the inlets through these pipes. The inside of my manifold is spotless at the moment from when i cleaned it before i put my engine back together so i'm going to put those pipes back on and give it about 1000 miles or so and then see if any oil gets in.

I've already got a catch tank on the end of the rocker cover-turbo inlet pipe so if any does get in i'll know where its come from.

At least then we should have an answer about whether oil can get in through them or not

Yep, I took mine apart to clean it. Here are the pics, you can see the wire mesh.

A week of cleaning...
