Is the oil separator drain connected?
Have you replaced the o-rings at the bottom of the oil separator?
Have you cleaned and sealed the top edge of the oil separator?

What oil are you using? diesel rated?
FWIW, every diesel I have ever seen has vapor when the oil cap is removed. (I believe it might be due to the piston cooling jets.)

What oil leaks do you have? Sounds like a major one.....like possibly a turbo oil return?
