Do I need an oil separator or do I have a bigger problem?
Ok, before I start panicking I thought I’d share this pics with you guys and hear what you have to say.
Have any of you guys had this problem with your S/C?
I first notice a little hesitation. Then my dad told me that white smock was coming out of my car (exhaust) when I started it in the morning. I decided to check it out and SURPRIZE SURPRIZE
Thanks!

RE: Do I need an oil separator or do I have a bigger problem?
Ok, I took the K&N CAI of and there was some oil in the throttle body. However there was no oil at the filter nor at the end of the tube. Is the oil coming from the S/C ? Any ideas?
Thanks

RE: Do I need an oil separator or do I have a bigger problem?
Guys I’m begging, I little feedback please. Has anyone experience this with their car? What I have read, oil separators are a must in blown cars (according to Steeda). However, I would like to know if this is the solution or is it something else.
PolkThug, thanks foryour reply. I think thier is one vaccum line attached to the tube. (sorry I'm no expert and I'm new withmustangs)

RE: Do I need an oil separator or do I have a bigger problem?
I'm running an oil separator in my car and it does work. I have to drain it fairly often, but more often when I've been really getting into the boost. If you get into your car a lot then you probably could use the separator.
Now, is the little oil that's getting pulled into the system under boost the only reason for the smoke and hesitation? That I can't tell you.

Is the inside of that line oily?

I had my installed by Chicane when I was having some other work done. I don't remember the cost of the piece or installation. Sorry. But it wasn't that expensive.
