The problem
Use of the vehicles concerned on a race track, in combination with extreme driving manoeuvres, may cause oil to leak onto the transmission breather. Oil vapours that have leaked out may come into contact with hot components in the engine compartment. This may lead to smoke developing and the vehicle could catch fire.
