## 🔌 Function

Separates oil mist and droplets out of the crankcase gases so cleaner air is returned to the inlet.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Oil mist or oil carried into the inlet, leaving the pipework wet
-   Rising oil consumption with no external leak
-   Crankcase pressure high enough to push oil past seals or the dipstick
-   Element inside clogged with heavy sludge on inspection
-   Oil weeping from the separator housing joints

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   A blocked separator raises crankcase pressure and can push oil out of the seals, so deal with it rather than the seals it damages
-   Renew the housing seals and check the drain route back to the sump is clear while the unit is off
