Testing Air Oil seperators

[ZSHO]

I would also check and monitor the front clean side oil seperator,sometimes if to much is being pushed through the front side its not a good thing,instead of only focusing how much oil residue has accumulated inside the can.  Z

I always have oil in the clean side separator. Is there anyway to prevent this? It was making its way towards the air box until I rerouted the hose. Now it just sits in the separator.

Do you have any pics of the front setup.  Z

sorry so late
White is current setup where oil doesn't go to the filter
Green is previous run that would fill hose with oil and saturate corner of filter.

This is only about 2 weeks after cleaning the clean side.
I did notice that if I stay out of boost its much cleaner. But what fun is that.

.

Glock did the issue with all that excessive oil start recently? The problem seems to be a worn out gasket,that goes right under that rubber grommet inside the oil seperator.  Z

No. It's been like that since I installed it. Every couple weeks I have to sop up the extra oil.

Had the same issue,read the above post,that gasket gets brittle and does not provide a secure fit and then it leaks through.  Z

I think if you get a new gasket you will be good to go and then you could face that oil seperator hose the way you had it originally,facing downwards,oics below.  Z

doesn't leak, oil just accumulates inside the css. Is that normal?
I'll prob message Tracy to confirm.

Glock it sounds like your not collecting any oil inside the can,instead pushing everything on the cleanside,explains all the extra oil,definetly contact Tracey because you need to correct the lack of evacuation during boost,mines pretty clean with over a month.  Z

Glock how many miles on your SHO?  If all looks good with the oil catch can install might want to revert into looking at something different such as a possible faulty oil pressure switch,just a thought,just trying to help ya out.  Z    http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=Z2LyMZzMcxglhDhR9%2fB%2bfw%3d%3d&id=329806221&m=2&search=true&year=2013&make=Ford&model=Taurus  There is to much oil on the front seperator for my taste.

just turned 43,000.
I'll recheck everything with the install, pretty sure it's correct. The only thing I can think of is the connection to the  airbox is causing too much suction.
But, I have put just a breather filter on the end of the hose with the same results. 
I thought the pressure switch was just for the dummy light on the instrument panel.
