So you don't get any oil coming out the breathers? How did you plug the hole in the whipple intake tube? Did you just put a
By the way, i made a homemade smoke machines and the only leak I could find was at that stupid grommet on the intake tube. Did you put a plug in the whipple manifold?
Please tell me that is the pic you took when you first installed the blow! My coolant reservoir was never that clear and now it looks like crap.

The oil wouldn't come out of the breathers, it would follow the path of the air thats supposed to flow from the PCV to the upper intake, which in One's case would be a rather sexy supercharger.
If there is no PCV flow... I guess it's all connected, valve covers and the area under the intake, but if there isn't an active airflow, nothing is actively removing the byproducts of the blowby, so I guess it just stays in the oil, and is partially removed by the oil filter.
I'm going with the UPR oil separator, because it looks good enough to grace an engine bay, people say it does a good job, and while it costs too damned much for an aluminum tube, it's not as much as some of the other offerings. It costs $110 at UPR's site, and $119 at some of the internet aftermarket shops.

i do get some blowby that comes out the passenger side breather, and it gets on the valve cover.
i wipe it off about once a week with a rag. only a few drops, nothing major.
i have 3 breathers: passenger and driver valve covers, and the oil filler cap.
then i used vacuum plugs from NAPA to plug the whipple intake tube, behind the throttle body.
but basically wherever the PCV hose went, I put the breather on the valve cover side so the engine can breath, and plugged the other side with a vacuum cap/plug so there is no vacuum leaks.
after 4 years, my coolant reservoir is still pretty clean.
even in SC oil window, its pretty clean.
in 4 years I only have about 6k miles on the SC.
