Oil trap
The job of the oil separator (trap) is to remove the atomized oil in the blow by and return to the engine as a liquid, allowing the air with the unburnt HCs to be vented into the intake to be burned with the fuel mixture. Its hard to tell how much drained out but this may be a sign that the tube from the separator to the block is clogged. Did you test for positive crank case pressure? Any signs of wetness getting into the intake (this can mess up the MAF and create some blue smoke)?
I haven't tested the pressure yet and as far as I tell there's no moisture in the intake someone told me to take the oil pan off and check the bearings. I plan on a new trap anyway I was just trying to see if the sludge is normal. Thanx for responding.
