Oil Seperator on my whipple....

I need some imput...

I might have a small vacuum leak here... and need to know if this looks routed right for the whipple? Or should I move the T-Fitting after the oil seperator or before...

and also... If I am leaking oil from the oil seperator, then that also means at vacuum, I could be having a leak right?

take a look at this picture... and let me know if I need to move that vacuum T-fitting and line to the back of the intake manifold to after the oil seperator...

again, I am not sure if the oil is leaking from the PCV valve or if I am just dripping on it from the plastic tube..... Either way this would be a vacuum leak as well right?

I am having a slight tuning issue that I am about to blame on my BA2800 for being too big, but if there is a leak here, this could be the casue for my tuning problems right?

again, I think this is just dripping from the oil holder, but I am not sure... But when I open the engine oil cap, there is no steam or oil popping out, so I doubt its pushing up from around the pcv valve....

let me know what you all think....

You need to post up a pic just a back a little further so we can see where the exit line goes..

It does follow this path, but what I want to know is.. should I cap off the oil return line that goes to the back of the intake...

the "T" Fitting...

Thats what the question is asking...

NO, this is the source of Suction/Clearing out of oil build up for the lower manifold, you should make sure the rubber 90* boot is in real good shape thou, I have heard of and seen a couple that rot out and leak Vacuum.
