Dear Sir,

I'm using a E36 M3 3.0 Euro Spec with the Carbon Fibre Airbox fitted.

Apparently, I am having trouble with the airbox puking large amoung of engine oil inside the plenum. As you can see from my attached pictures. After I pushed the car hard, a large amount of engine oil reserves inside the plenum and it is actually flowing out from the cone filter.

My question here urgently waiting for help is;

1. Is this normal ? (pls see attached pic. the oil inside the plenum)
2. I am worried that it is not fitted properly, are there any proper installation guide ? Reason for me saying this is because when i was using the original BMW airbox, there was NEVER any oil inside the plenum. I think this is really strange.
3. How can I check the problem ?
4. What is the side effect with those oil spilling out and breathing in the engine ?

I thank you VERY much if you can kindly help me resolve my frustration since the first day I fitted this airbox. It's actually giving me nightmares and I'm so worry whether I'm going to blow my engine or not.
