We have a 194/6 with an oil tank that makes a dreadful noise when either cold or hot and I wondered if this was a generic problem or maybe a poor quality tank.

Let's see a pic of how it's vented.
Also what brand is it? Factory, vellios, patrick, DWD?

Is it a boiling noise? if it is the return tube, that loops to the top inside the tank may have somehow broke off.
The return scavenge oil has a fair bit air in it, the return tube loops to the top where the oil drops through a screen designed to separate the air from the oil.

First time i started up my 3.6L i had accidentally left the vent plugged.

The results could certainly be described as "dreadful noise".
