Air Filter + Oil supression?

I've noticed most of the time i get alot of oil on my air filter any suggestions on checking or altering the oil seperator to prevent it? it's not got alot of blow by just seems like it's creeping over and collecting??

There was this post from the 617 oily air filter thread that I found last summer. I sealed the separator when I replaced the stock filter setup and have had no oil on the air filter or dribbling down the side of the engine either.

Some oil is normal. Bend back the tabs holding down the seperator, clean the surfaces and seal it with a little RTV.
