If it's had morning sex, then yes, she smokes.

I digress. Apologies.

Serious note: Yes...clear sign of AOS. Try this....while running, take the oil fill cap off and place your hand over the opening. If there is a very strong pull, that is another sign of a failing AOS. A working AOS should have a very mild/gentle pull.
