still smokin 850

OK car still smoking, how do I get to that oil seperator?( see below) What else can this be?

AK




well finally got to that flametrap! What a mess.... small vacuum tube completely plugged up , and I would say honeycomb was 95% blocked.
Punched out honeycomb for now and cleaned out small tube, put it all back together and still saw some lingering smoke.
Drove the car 50 miles back home , and what a difference! Car had much more pep! Also I recently had an oil/smoke smell in car, and that was gone too.
Checked tailpipe with flashlight, and did not see any visible smoke.
I am hoping to drive it arouund a few days and see if smoke is gone for good. Just hope I did not do any permanent damage.
Will probably change out plugs this weekend ( probably gooked up too) and go back to NJ inspection.

Thanks Klaus, have not chased down the oil seperator yet.
