Default Oil separator update

Well, it's been several months since I installed an oil separator in my PCV line and I must say the result has been interesting. I purchased a water separator at Lowe's and mounted in on my firewall near the PCV valve. I changed my oil last weekend and dumped the reservior accumulation in the process. I probably pulled a half pint or so of oil from the glass jar. That's quite a bit of oil to be pumped into my intake manifold. $25 or so for the separator and a bent piece of aluminum for a bracket did the trick. I essentiall wanted to confirm suspicion that a fair amount of oil was getting sucked into the fuel path, so it's confirmed. Probably add some life to the spark plugs.
