Have you sealed up the drain hole in the bottom of the air box ??

errrr not yet! It wasn't me that fitted the snorkel, never really worried before if it was sealed properly but will definately have a look tomorrow!

Where else should I be checking?

unknownmanxman:
Hmm why does the td5 have two oil filters?

Mr Bump:
extended time between changes of main filter, the rotor filter acts as a primary (centrifugal force??) and filters out smaller particles than the normal filter would get.

I think

here ya go

A new and very nice feature is the use of an centrifugal oil filter beside the normal filter. This cleans the oil by centrifugal force and accumulates dirt in an disposable metal pot that must be replaced every 36.000 miles (57000 km). In this way oil and standard filter exchange intervals have been extended to 12.000 miles.

NB. This centrifugal system is not new. Old Series cars had it in their oil bath air filter.
