    NotMyCar; Next time you send a renTech an email, manually type in your EMAIL address in the message so they can reply, instead of having to track you down on the board. I had a blown motor. Bad Rings or hole in piston was pressurizing the block, thus forcing Oil out of the breather [oil separator] along with the exhaust gasses and per US Emissions regulations, the breather must feed back into the intake so the escaping gasses will get burnt. That is how oil gets into the intake. The other possibility for your friend, is that the oil separator has failed or its return is clogged. They are not too expensive ~$120 I think, and not to hard to replace ~2hrs. If you disconnect the hose from the intake to the separator and see if there is pressure coming out of the block, you can determine if the motor is failing. There is only one hose from the oil separator to the intake, near the throttle body, real easy stuff. Ignore the other stuff in the pics, the engine was supercharged [TPC System $6K], 0-60 in 4.95 sec 289HP, VERY fast, but it probably helped my engine fail. Trent

    It is the external separator that I replaced The fact the car is Supercharged could have caused or accelerated this failure. Compression Check: This week, I am waiting for my new plugs, so I can take care of both at once. Thanks! Trent

    My 1997 Boxster 2.5L has started pumping oil from the Oil Separator into the intake manifold at a rate that will not only blow plumes of blue smoke, but also foul my plugs in like 30 seconds to where they must be replaced. When did it start: On a cold motor I red lined the motor and wham oil everywhere, not into the intake tract at this time because the hose that connects the separator to the block blew out and oil was just running into my block, headers, and eventually the ground. Upon replacing this 1.5" x 2.5" hose, the oil started getting pumped into the intake. Symptom: Drive normally, usually at a constant velocity all of the sudden the car starts to sputter and I look into the rear view and see huge plumes of smoke from the exhaust pipe. Plugs foul where the car will barely run. Plugs must be replaced. Prognosis: Bad Oil Separator. I replaced the Oil Separator and the problem reoccurred in 13 min. I used the updated separator. My Fear: The engine has bad rings, valve guides, hole in piston, etc that allows the combustion gas to pressurize the block and force Oil out of the separator. I am open for suggestions and comments. Trent
