Front engine cover (timing cover) has a round canister with a hose coming out and down.
I believe it to be a breather but it drips oil and the fan blows it all over everything. I was told there is suppose to be a catch can at the bottom end of the hose but, there is nothing. What is suppose to be there and where can I purchase it. thanks, gregjo1948

Bad design - common to weep oil out the breather tube. Cures vary from fabbing a quick and dirty plastic catch bottle to store bought kits for $200+. Common topic on the Cummins forums.
