Question Breather Bottle??

Where is the breather bottle on the 600? I looked where the one was on my 2002, but nothing........where's it hiding?

Where does the vapor vent to, the atmosphere? Where is the opening? Does it leak oil on the engine? Thanks.

On my 03 it's down beside the oil pan. You have to crawl under the truck to see it. No bottle. Just a hose pointing straight down. I have never seen a puddle under the truck although when it was new I took a trip to Mississippi and my mother in law said there was a large black puddle where my truck had been parked for a few days. I have never seen anything since......................

If I remember correctly there are two hoses on the breather/seperator assembly. One for gasses and an additional return line to the driver side of the block or pan for fluids...

Anytime I look at it there's a drop of oil hanging on the bottom of the hose but I've yet to see a drop on the ground...

Are you sure its oil hanging on the bottom. I thought that about mine and when I touched it, it was hard. I have quite a bit of those hanging off the bottom of my engine and it turns out it is the clear coat that the engine and components take a bath in.

Mine has a little drip on it after the engine has been worked a little. I hope this is just normal. I think I have a total or three 1/4" diameter drops on the driveway in 14k.
