Well.

It wasn't the Air/Oil Separator.

I had a failed Oil Pressure Switch which sits passenger side of the motor, near the top, closest to the passenger seat (as opposed the other end near the trunk).

The switch failed which would let oil leak out.. under pressure of course.. and then drip down onto the hot exhaust.

Woo Hoo! She's back running as she should.
