Hi John,

I have just about the same setup and added Richard's oil separator to  
take care of a similar (but not so severe) problem. Others have  
suggested placing a roll-pin in the feed line to reduce flow, and a  
lot of people think you don't need it at all. I am happy with my  
setup though...
