More stupid AOS talk...

So this week I changed out my AOS (again) because last week I had a smoke bomb/flashing CEL at the track. The motor-sport AOS is on my wish list and probably, if I could make the proper decisions, I could have spent less and solved my problem.
So, I cut open the old AOS which had been pumping oil through my intake and causing mayhem, only to find that the diaphragm was like new, no other obvious physical problems whatsoever.
Okay, on the track I'm fairly new (2nd season), I'm running street tires (Mich sport PS2s), I'm not pulling big lateral G's on the corners as if I were on sticky R comps. Is the stock AOS really that bad???
Question: How many of you share this experience, pulling off the hose between the AOS and the intake plenum, to find it bathed in oil?
I've got a sport oil sump baffle coming in from Pelican next week with some other necessities and am hoping it will help! I've heard talk about a catch can, but the jury seems to be still out.
Talk to me.
