If you do have to take the breather hose off the intake then extend the breather and get it up high out of harm's (water's) way.

You don't want water getting in there and mixing with your oil.

I have heard (may not be true) of a truck hydraulic-ing itself because of the water it took in through the crankcase breather.

good luck either way :D
