Is there a Oil separator fix-- forever?

I had oil in the intake, (searched forums for what the majority said was pricey but the best= L&S), bought/installed it, still oil in the intake.

Is there a permanent fix short of removing the PVC sys ?

Some folks said this or that, BUT what is the ultimate fix if we are going to keep the PVC system??

There is no permanent fix if you are going to keep the PCV system, the only real fix is to delete it. As for the oil in the intake, if you already have an L&S, then the oil is coming from the driver side VC, you need to add a one way PCV,(supercoupe IIRC) style, that should limit it if not remove it completely.

Removing the PVC system. No you know if it's going start to create codes?

Assuming it will, do you know if my SCT x2 will clear the codes??

If you eliminate the PCV system, it will probably throw a "CE." It needs to be turned off in the computer. I'm pretty sure the XCal2 will "clear" the code, but until it's turned off in the tune, I would expect it to return.

When you delete the PCV system properly no codes will be thrown and it will not affect your tune at all.

one breather on each valve cover, and cap all other connections, done.

You could cap off all your lines to the intake (like you are doing a delete). Install a breather on one side and a vacuum pump on the other.

I removed mine, put 4'' stacktubes in the valve covers with K&N filters on each side. So any oil might drain back down. Pluged (all) the hoses. No codes for about 3 years now. I clean them maybe 2 times per season.
