This Air/Oil Separator product ref 996.107.023.55 also includes the rubber below 996.107.237.52 and jubilee clip 999.512.551.01
The AOS is basically a small diaphragm distillery which distills the minute amounts of oil mist in the crankcase, liquifies it and sends it back to the crankcase. The "clean" air is now sent into the air intake (after the throttle body) to be burned off by the engine.
When the AOS starts to fail it cannot separate all of the oil out of the mist and some liquid oil is sent to the air intake.
A few drops of oil is enough to generate the GREAT SMOKE BOMB for which our cars are famous for.
A big smoke bomb once in a while is completely normal, due to the architecture of the flat-6 engine, which may let a drop of oil flow into one of the combustion chambers sporadically.

What This Product Does
The air/oil separator forms part of the engine crankcase ventilation system. It removes suspended oil droplets from blow-by gases before the gases are directed towards the intake. Separated oil can return to the crankcase, helping to limit the amount of liquid oil reaching the intake tract.
Functions
- Separates oil mist from crankcase gases.
- Supports controlled crankcase ventilation.
- Returns separated oil towards the engine crankcase.
- Routes treated blow-by gases into the intake system.
- Helps prevent excessive oil contamination within the intake.
Technical Details
- Part number: 99610702652.
- Related earlier reference: 99610702651.
- Component type: air/oil separator for the crankcase ventilation system.
- Diagram application: Porsche 996 Carrera 2, Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S with M96.03 engine from 2002.
- Diagram application: Porsche 997.1 3.6L Coupé and Cabriolet with M96.05 engine, 2005–08.
Symptoms of Fault
- Heavy white or blue exhaust smoke, particularly after starting or idling.
- Increased engine oil consumption.
- Rough, unstable or hunting idle.
- Whistling or honking sounds from the crankcase ventilation system.
- An oil filler cap that is unusually difficult to remove because of excessive vacuum.
- Oil deposits around the throttle body or intake pipework.
- Misfire or mixture-related faults where oil or unmetered air enters the intake.
- Cracked, brittle or leaking associated breather lines.
Why Replacement Matters
A deteriorated separator may allow liquid oil to pass into the intake or create abnormal crankcase vacuum. Replacing the faulty component helps restore the intended ventilation path and may address smoke, oil consumption or idle problems caused by the AOS. The adjoining vent lines, seals and connections should also be inspected because age-hardened pipes can crack when disturbed. Occasional brief smoke from a flat-six engine does not by itself confirm separator failure, so oil level, breather integrity and other possible causes should be checked before replacement.
FAQs
- Does exhaust smoke always indicate AOS failure?
No. Oil overfilling and other engine faults can produce similar symptoms, so diagnosis is recommended. - Can a faulty separator cause misfires?
Yes. Oil entering the intake or a vacuum leak within the breather system may affect combustion and foul spark plugs. - What else should be inspected?
Check the oil level and examine the vent lines, connections, seals and intake pipework for oil residue, cracks or leaks. - Is this the same separator used on a Boxster?
AOS problems are also discussed in relation to Boxster models, but this part is listed for the Porsche 996 and 997.1 applications shown above.
