The little white filter thing in now brown, and I can see something along the lines of oil mist in there but not like a huge amount.

My next step is to notch a little hole in the filter thingy for better air flow.

how long did it take you to get a brown filter? even if it's one day, thats very little blow by if you ask me...usually people have drops by the end of one day...depending on how many miles they put on it...

I don't think a timeframe should be a basis for comparison (i.e 2 weeks). I think mileage is a better starting point
