I just took off my upper TF Street Heat because my car was running bad and noticed oil on the gasket between the upper and lower intake. Also, Oil was around the vacuum hookups. What happened here?

Sounds like you're sucking up oil through your pcv valve. There was a thread a couple days ago started by killercanary about using a supercoupe pcv. You might want to check that out. Also might consider putting a breather cap on your oil fill neck, or an oil seperator.

Mine does that to....I thought it was my breather set-up to...so I reconnected it when I did my Cobra intake....No dice...same deal. Mine sucks quite abit up...I can teel as my phenolic spacer has turned all dark so I know its getting oil..

Andy, are you using a dedicated A/O separator (a la Steeda) or a more generic separator? I still am not sold that a 15 dollar cheapo A/O separator will suffice. Thoughts (I need to do one on the 94 myself)?

Thats the Steeda unit i ordered...I read around on some other set-ups you could make, ala Campbell/Hausfield separator...the only issue was they stated it was a pain coming up with the threaded 90's...and I wanted to make sure I had the right filter media...
I don't feel like messing around hunting stuff up...I want it all in a kit....done deal...
It was 68.59 shipped from Steeda...
