bad oil separator?

Well 1st check to see all hoses are intact and not split.

Other than that, it does sound like the AOS.

Not too bad a fix. Good Luck

not sure if this is the same problem as yours. my wife's S would drip oil on the exhaust. you could smell it for hours in the garage after it was parked. i took it to autohouse bavaria in san jacinto, ca. turned out that there was a loose/stripped valve cover bolt that was causing the leak. it was a $89 fix.

Thanks for the replies.
There is no smell associated with this.
I'll be sure to check the condition of the hoses.

When the AOS goes it can cause the Oil filler tubes to expand and contract and eventually fail. This failure will cause oil to pool on top of the engine on the passenger side. Check some of the threads on this site by searching oil filler tubes. If your AOS is replaced you should also replace the J tube which connects the AOS to the throttle body(TB.) You can remove your J filler tube at the TB and see if their is any accumulation of Oil (a sign of a bad AOS.) Good luck!
