I am getting lots of oil smoke at startup but it is intermittent. This was not a problem before I cleaned my throttle body. I am reading that the AOS is a likely culprit and should almost be changed as maintenance so I have ordered one. It looks like Pelican has some special clamps to make the job easier. What else should I look at or order? Can the AOS cause this but not everytime? Vacuum on the oil filler feels very normal.
