If you are going to clean out the breathers system.(really should be done regularly anyway) it is worth doing the entire job properly as it only takes a few hours .

Full detailed guide in the maintenance section,and you will avoid later problems with leaking cam cover seals.

As Amba indicated - cleaning that part is part of the procedure for cleaning the breathers, but there are a few other parts which you need to clean as well. Thumbs Up!

Best to clean the breathers as per the guide then keep on top by frequent oil changes.  I change oil every 3k miles or so and the filter every other change.  Thumbs Up!
