It wont hurt anything to drive with a clogged filter. If it gets bad enough you will just have the annoying buzzer and stop engine light ringing in your ears while driving.

Okay any suggestions...whar cause it to come on and how to diagnose

Your 99 s60 wont have a crankcase filter that would set a check engine light. There is a small screen inside the valve cover, that makes sure no oil comes out of the blow by tube. You need to pull the code that is causing the check engine light to come on. Detroit didnt start putting breathers on until the EPA 07. The only engine that would throw a CEL for the crankcase breather is an ISX, or an EPA10 DD15

Back to the topic. You should have a diag switch, which is sometimes hidden down by the diagnostic port. Flip that and the check engine light should flash out 3 digit codes. Post the codes and we can tell you where to start looking. Many things can cause a check engine light, guessing isn't a productive diagnostic procedure.QUALITYTRUCK Thanks this.
