Oil Separator Fix on 240D

Man I finally got around to fixing the oil blowing out and around the upper & lower oil separator drain pipe as O rings wear out and leak. What a sorry way to do a oil drain back from the separator.

What I did was unbolt it from the side of the block, and pulled it up and turned it and shoved it back down so I could cut the bottom bell section off with small pipe cutter. Then after removing the upper section, I cut off the upper bell section and reinstalled it and connected upper and lower section by 1/2 inch fuel line.

Now to build a propper billet aluminum oil separator for the car, with removable top and a inexpensive washable filter inside as I did for the VW TDI's on the TDI Club forum. I checked with dealer and a OEM replacement list is $190 for the plastic piece of crap.
