Yes I do have roller rockers. Is this a common problem with them? I had 
an aftermarket aluminium valve cover on for a while but it shed oil 
even quicker than the factory cover , so I put the factory cover back 
on since it has an internal baffle. There is a hose that goes from the 
valve cover to the canister that holds two filters. The hose is not 
centered and is much closer to one of the filters than the other. This 
is the filter that is being coated with oil. Should I put in an oil 
separator from Goodparts to correct this or is there something else 
that I can do? Is this normal?
