    When you say "the balloon rises on top of the oil filler" I'm assuming you mean you have positive crankcase pressure at idle.

    If memory serves, the pipe to the brake booster is just held in the booster with a rubber grommet. Some careful/determined wiggling and prying will release it. For the connections with the red...

    I think you've found your problem. Oil should not be coming out of that pipe. The oil separator is below the intake manifold. I'm guessing your complete crankcase vent system should be replaced.

    Despite the chart, I thought as of the 2001 model year the E engine was 185 HP. At least in the US. Perhaps other markets had different specifications?
