Pleased with the one I purchased from JEGS (Part # 555-52205); price $39; most mount to firewall, but as you can see, I mounted inside fender--easy to do.

OK, something doesn't make sense here. You said that the line to your CAI is clean, so putting an oil seperator on it isn't going to change anything. Maybe it really is oily, but you didn't look hard enough, try a Q-tip.

OR, the oil is coming from somewhere else. Make everything sparkling clean, then you can isolate the problem better when it starts leaking.
