I've a 1996 SEAT Ibiza 1.4 SE with an AEX engine code and 70K miles.

Having taken my throttle body out to clean it [another problem], I noticed quite a significant volume of oil residue in the throttle body itself and all around the inside of the air filter box. I removed the crankcase breather hose and that was practically choked with the chocolate brown emulsified oil/water. I then removed the crankcase oil separator and that seems to be gunged up as well.

My questions :

o Is there any way of cleaning the crankcase oil separator or do I need to buy a new one... if so, where can I get this, can't seem to find anywhere on-line for it ?

o Is there any way of limiting oil into the air intake ?

Many many thanks in advance for your help on this one.
