    probably built up gases?

    a mechanic i knew, used to use some sort of brush (thin) in a wire handle and go up there to clean it out.

    Not sure what you're calling an engine breather, you might be hearing the DEF pump emptying the line or there's always a clicking sound that comes from DPF side as well, that's all normal.

    It's the crankcase breather spinner. It condenses the fumes and sends the oil back to the pan, rather than out into the atmosphere for emissions purposes. It's normal.
     
    Gambosa, KB3MMX and JPSIPPY Thank this.

    Well there's no turbo driver side, DEF pump is a whirring sound driver side. Check the compressor line driver side, towards rear of engine. Not sure what more we can tell you here, other than take it into a shop. Hard to diagnose on a forum.
