I went through the 700/900 Faq and did the "jiggle" test only to have my Oil Cap slightly jiggle around and not blow off. I just got a little oil all over the Valve Cover. I went back and read it again and the "jiggle" test ONLY applies to the earlier models with the Metal Oil Cap, not the Plastic cap. My car runs GREAT. I am one of those preventive maintenance guys who does not like things to go wrong. My 1990 245 has about 182,000 miles on it. Is there a simple way to test the Oil Separator box? I am so terrifed of taking it off because of the hose that goes into the oil pan. Like I said, my car runs great, gets a consistent 25-26 mpg and uses NO oil. Please help and advise.
