I've heard conflicting theories about the tiny breathe hole on the intake
manifold breather, this is on the Vanagon diesel engine.  One party says
that it is restrictive and should be drilled out; another says that it is a
safety feature and if drilled out, oil could reach that level, close the
system and create a runaway engine.

I'm not mechanic, just a worrywort.  What is the consensus from this list on
this subject?

Thanks!

Jon
