this would be true if you have an older n/a 617, however, the OP has stated there is an oil separator in the air cleaner, that means he is driving a turbo 617, and the turbo's do not have a vacuum pump that dumps externally.
but this comment is valid for the thread as the OP did not state which car or what year vehicle he has!
