Ok, I'm Flummoxed, Ive got this small pipe to the right of the engine as you face it that doesnt seem to go anywhere, it look like an overflow pipe of some sort?? before I hit the LPG forum with this I thought I'd ask here first just incase someone may know...any ideas?

There is also one at the rear of the engine bay (same size pipe) which i noticed when taking off the rocker cover.....i just presumed it was a blow of pipe of some sort.

Think the one at the rear of the engine is the gearbox breather, maybe the one at the front is the front diff breather
