well just see what happens when you sort the breather pod out first.  If it's still doing it then it could be suffering a lot of blowby past the piston rings but I wouldn't worry about it till you've sorted the breather out.

yes, use a flat bladed screwdriver to prise it off, and a mallet to put it back on (well thats how i did mine).  Its an interference fit onto the block.

You'll see the gauze, clean it, and also soak in turps/meths/white spirit or similar stuff.  I known of people actually just removing this gauze and binning it (some cup cars did this).
