We remove the oil separator to flush the crankcase ventilation system. As a result of operation, resinous deposits from crankcase gases accumulate in the hoses and parts of the system.
These deposits make it difficult for gases to pass into the engine cylinders for combustion.
Because of this, the gas pressure inside the engine increases and oil leaks through the engine seals.
It is necessary to periodically flush the system.
It is advisable to do this when changing the oil in the engine lubrication system.
