You can also buy a mini air filter and do the mod that I did here..



I then plugged the hole on the air box w/ a large allen bolt & slathered some RTV around it. Whether you do this mod or not, if you replace the elbow, expect the old one to crumble to pieces as you try to remove it.
I've been running the same type deal on my 95 for years. Check the filter to make. Sure it's not clogged every once In a while. Mine wasn't getting any oil on it I just did it to clean up the engine bay alittle bit. The Honda peeps do this all the time. Those motors have so much blow by its ridiculous and never seen one of them build crank case pressure or anything...
