🔌 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
