No oil in oil separator??

Ever since i put in my new short block and stage 2 cams i have seen little to no oil in my oil separator. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed something like this after putting in cams? I am wondering if the low vacuum at idle (15 inches in park, 10-12 in drive) is causeing this or if something else is wrong? It is almost a funny problem to have.

Is the o-ring in the seperator sealed properly? And has the filter media ever been cleaned? When I cleaned mine it started catching a bit more than it had been.

did you put your own short block in or did you have someone do it? If someone else did it they may have added the mustang or updated pcv valve dealy creating less oil going to the intake. Just a thought
