Abstract
An oil separator includes: an oil separator main body that is formed with a gas flow path between a gas introduction port that introduces blow-by gas and a gas discharge port that discharges the blow-by gas; a flap that opens and closes the gas flow path, and that includes a substantially circular shaped valve section including a straight line portion of a substantially straight line shape at a portion of an outer periphery of the valve section; and a first impact wall for capturing oil, that is provided along the outer periphery of the valve section at a downstream side of the valve section in the gas flow path, that includes a straight line portion of a substantially straight line shape along the straight line portion of the valve section, and that is impacted by the blow-by gas flowing out from a peripheral edge of the valve section.
