Need help!...is this what I think it is?

Thanks a lot guys.

I'm heading out now to take a look at the separator and see if there is some oil in the tube etc. I think I've been extremely lucky because it still runs great and doesn't smoke at all if I drive it nicely. I am under the impression that there is no internal damage YET as there are no signs of it. But it is parked now until I get it replaced.

Will let you know the outcome.

Well I think we hit it BANG ON!

I took off the "J" tube and it had a lot of oil in it! to the point where, when I tipped it up, a little bit dripped out.
Man I don't know how this engine is still running so well?? They must be a very strong engine. Thanks guys. I'll be changing this thing over asap.

Now for some reason the convertible top "warning light" is lit up on the dash. Is this just because I don't have it closed all the way?? It seems tight though and all 3 latches are done up.

How much was it dripping? can you put it in perspective?

Yeah about one drop after holding it up for 5 mins. When I stuck my finger in it, oil covered the end of my finger. Also when I stuck my pinky finger in the throttle body, where the J tube connects, it also covered my finger with oil. Only once though. The second time dipping my finger in it, it was just a little bit. So I took a rag and stuck it in there carefully soaking up whatever might have been left.

I got the separator last night. Will be putting it on later this week.
