I use my RX3 mostly for commuting and my freeway portion is at or near redline, but I haven't had the fuel issue that you have, Detours. Interesting problem.

Just now, while writing this reply, I thought back to when I first received mine and remembered noticing that the U shaped clamp (just above the clutch release lever) on the left side of the cylinder appeared to be bent too tight. Looked as if it was skwooshing (technical term) the hose quite a bit, so I dis-skwooshed it a little until I felt it wasn't pinching the hose but would still hold it snug.

Have you given that a look? I'd go take a picture but I just got out of the shower, it's 91F, and don't really feel like putting clothes on. Neighbors have kids, you know.

Still, if your oil is smelling of fuel, I think you have some other problem than just a breather/separator. Injector dribbling when the engine is off? Interesting.
