Unhappy Water in oil

The answer is simple. I also installed oil/air seperator on both engines. I also had water in oil, mainly in winter & mainly in rear engine. The water that you had in engine before you installed air/oil seperator, blew out breather pipe with some of your oil.
Now you have to seperate oil from air and some of the water wants to stay in engine. Also if you mounted the air/oil seperator like you were instructed and as I did. It is mounted up high in direct path of air coming in through air scoop. That cools oil in metal air/oil seperator causing water to seperate into droplets and going into oil pan. The secret is to wrap the pipes and the air/oil seperator with water pipe insulation. And also in winter block off some of the oil cooler, to allow tempature to stay a little higher around 190 degrees so the water stays in vapor form and can be blown out with the air. Now that was simple, was it not. It works, try it. Dale Campbell
