 On 13599 I have the oil vapour cannister mounted on the drivers side firewall (RHD car ) it is a sealed unit and no obvious filter can be seen. It has 3 pipes connected to it, 1 to the air cleaners, 1 to the  block and the 3rd goes down to the sump plug. At the sump it has for want of a better phrase a "3 way splitter or T" it screws into the sump, then has the rubber hose into the side of it and on the end is the sump plug. Is this correct or has it been tampered with over the years? seems to me one piece of debri on the road and off comes the pipe and out comes the oil and goodbye engine.

has anyone seen this before or am I just astounded by 70s British engineering
