Hi All,

FYI. I replaced the original (I think) oil separator at 212,000 miles or about 2 years ago. It was partially clogged and it made the new rear cam seal to leak. I kept the old unit and didn't know what to do with it. Today, I decided to cut into 3 pieces and take a look.

The overall, the chamber is clean but the top part of the vent hole area has a heavy build up. I look forward to cut and see my current oil separator for a comparison near future. Thank you as always.

The 2 previous owners did a great job replacing oil religiously.
