My AOS went out within a couple months of buying the car, what a gut punch that was seeing the dash lights go spunky while I smoked like a high school bathroom.

Careful on that small tube that connects to the top of the AOS. I cracked mine when we swapped it. Easy to buy a replacement if that happens though.

Replaced AOS with a cheaper off brand version...
Car is better, but still smokes a small amount when I get on it.
Removed intake no oil in intake, but small amount of oil in J-tube. (there was oil in intake before I changed the AOS to the new one)

Apparently I am not the only one that has this problem with this particular part.
Also think the lower AOS hose (plastic) is leaking. I guess i need to order the Porsche AOS and the J-tube and the lower hose..?
