Yours may be stuck open and allowing a small amount of oil to be sucked into the air filter. if you open the airfilter and the seperator has a good amount of an oil film then this could be the problem.

OK, here is a dumb question. What/where exactly is my oil separation system? I have a tube from the valve cover to the top of air cleaner, and a drip tube on bottom of air cleaner to a tube that I think goes down towards the pan. Are you saying that oil is sucked up from the oil pan?
