If I remember correctly (it's been a long time). Has it got the large cylindrical breather filter at the drivers-side rear of the engine? If so, change it. Then check the inlet manifold gasket. There are ports above the inlet tracts which feed into the breather. No amount of blanking seems to stop it drawing through these if gasket splits. Also, check the hose that feed the breathers over the top of the inlet manifold (if fitted).
