My dealer wouldn't, but I don't lose any sleep over it.

Thanks for your reply Paul!

So what part might they replace under warrenty? the breather box for the newer dimple type one?

So really i just need to keep an eye on this pipe and drain it every so often right? and theres nothing major to worry about as this is normal?

cheers mate
