Saleen SC Question

I have had my Saleen SC on for about 1500/2000 miles now. I have stored the car for winter and have started some winter projects. I have taken off the TB and found some oil in the area between the two in the downward slant of the SC throat. I do have a oil separtator installed on the PVC valve but it is a cheap Lowe's air/oil separtator model, the hose seems dry but it has been sitting for about a month and a half. I have order a Stef's oil separtator (5128) to replace the cheapo verse. I do believe it is the pvc hose that the oil is coming from but could it possible be a leak in the SC itself? I'm not sure how to check the SC's oil level. The oil did seem to be of motor oil color and smell.
What do all the pro's think???

Thanks in advance for all the ideas and the people who will tell me I should have gone with a Whippel, or Vortech or etc. etc

I have 2 Saleen S/C'd GTs - an 05 & 06. Both have this same issue. I have the Stef's oil separator on the 06 and some oil still gets in the inlet. I have gone with PCV delete on the 05 to completely eliminate this problem

I don't have the Saleen (yet), but on my N/A setup I get more oil from the passenger side than the drivers side. That may be where it's coming from. In my case I will either install two cans or two breathers.

I'll keep the extra lube just incase you decide to get a shaft, so I can help you .
