I cannot be sure but it looks as if this is fitted with a dry filter
element. The originals had an oil-wetted element that had to be washed out
in paraffin from time to time and then re-wetted. Rather messy.
I don't have a filter to hand but perhaps the wetted type did not block the
breather pipe.
All the best
