After replacement, check for leaks and ensure all connections are solid.

It can help. A cracked or leaking breather pipe may allow oily vapours to escape, which could lead to a smell in the engine bay or, in some cases, the cabin.

Yes — it’s a good idea to inspect any rubber seals or O-rings, and replace them if they’re worn, to maintain a good seal and avoid leaks.
