Not too familiar with the first gens but I had a similar issue with my 2nd gen. The oil vapor from the puke bottle was getting blown around by the fan and was getting sucked through the radiator. Eventually a large section of the radiator was clogged with dirt sticking to the oil. Had to remove the rad and clean/degrease it. Made a big difference in how often the clutch fan kicked in. I also relocated the bottle to the frame near the transmission. Hope this helps.
