Ya got too much oil in the engine....or you got a serious problem.

If you keep the oil level down around the halfway mark (or a little lower) when cold, you can run em hard with no oil spewing outta the a/c.

Tap the two holes where the oil comes out in the intake area and put a set screw in each one with red loctite. This will plug the holes.

Then run a line from the tee down to the ground. This is what I did.
