REFLECTOR: pole question: air/oil separator

[Geoff Gerhardt]

I followed Rene's advice and put my breather exit out the trailing edge of
the wing.  Works great - now messy streaks on the cowling.  Bit of oil
residue on the prop, but nothing too significant.  Simplest solution yet.
 I tired a breather, but (maybe I didn't have the right one) it added back
pressure that caused some crank seal leakage.  I don't have any pictures
with me, but Rene posted one awhile back.  If anyone's interested, I can
take some pics next time I'm at the hangar.
