Mine works, I have campbell too. I have NO oil in the intake. I'm contemplating on keeping it or go to breather route. I already have the breather, caps...hmmm.

im running the air compressor seperator and it gets to teh bottom of the filter element and never raises or lowers. If i drain it, it fills back up to the bottom of the filter element and stays there. I guess its still allowing a little bit of oil into the intake, but hopefully not in big drops anymore.

LS6 valley cover, upright pcv, air water seperator.
