I noticed a huge lack of power today while I was taking a little trip down the interstate. I got off on my exit and pulled into the driveway to see what it was.
This is what I found: (pics)

I replaced this air filter approx. 1 month ago. When I bought the Jeep, I disconnected the hose from the top of the valve cover, and replaced it with an open/screened filter because of this same problem. This kept the oil from traveling back into my air filter. And seemed to work quite nicely, that is, until the rubber holding that top filter in there went to $h!t and it fell off right before I changed my air filter. What causes this? What can I do? Should I go back to the open filter on top of the valve cover? Was that a bad idea to begin with? any help would be greatly appreciated.
