what makes you think its blocked?

 

[StealthClio]

oil is in the airbox, running very rough when cold - warm, missfires when you put your foot down, stinks of oil, and drinks oil.

pretty normal for the airbox to be full of oil on them, s**t engine that it is!

You think just a blocked hose is going to make it use oil?

These engines are heavy breathers and a swimming pool of oil in the resonator box is normal - Pull the inlet off and you'll be able to see the source.

Logic says if the breather is blocked mate, it wont use oil as the oil wont be able to get past the blockage.

Oil in the box as said can be normal.

Take the plugs out, see if they are oily - compression test it, plug leads could be breaking down, coolant temperature sensor could be knackered and sending the wrong temp - many things or a combination of a few mate, take it to a specialist and get it checked out
