Remove this and put the hose into a bottle to see if it breathes

There is no hose it's just attached to the breather itself

Search how the breathers were originally fitted and put it back how it was.The fumes should be recycled to the engine.Steve..

As mentioned above, I found this to be the boot seal. A small gap at the bottom allowed the sucking of exhaust back in.
