If at all possible I would put those check valves somewhere a little bit more accessible, they can crack or break overtime.

Also I believe RX is using aluminum check valves now instead of plastic.
Might be worth a call/email. When
my CSS cap orings went bad they sent me out a new cap new check valves. 
Good call glock i might reach out to them. the valves are in good shape and it's actually pretty easy to get at them from underneath the car with the belly pan off. Was your oil cap/CSS leaking onto your valve cover? i'm having that issue but it's minor. Tried to epoxy it and it helped a little. I bought my kit used so might have to buy a new cap or seal from RX.
Yeah, the orings both cracked on the original. I also bought mine used.
Tracy still worked for RX and was active on the forum. Here's a pic of the new cap.

^yeah i need one of those. but really a new o-ring to prevent leaking would do just fine. i've been in contact with tracy in the past so i'll give him a shout.
thanks glock!

If your CSS is leaking and the o-rings look okay, make sure it's screwed together tight. The neck (with the o-rings) screws into the cap (which contains the hose barb). Mine loosened a bit, and started seeping oil. After re-tightening, no more leak. :)

i believe my older css seals up differently. mine has 1 grommet that seals the separator to the oil cap-no o rings.you can see where i tried to repair it and where it still has a slight leak.

Ahh, interesting. Maybe they will upgrade you to the newer version, since that one is leaking. Couldn't hurt to ask.
