Oil out breather on PCV switch on STS? I would say the is a reasonable amount of oil blowing by the small filter on the solenoid valve on the PCV switch for the STS. Is this normal only have 300 miles on the kit?

I would just ditch the STS pcv setup and check out what others are running around here. Search will give you a ton of results so just try to weed through it. Theres a lot of setups out there and I have yet to find a concrete definitive answer to what works or at least how to do it.

Well I ditch it for a catch can and breather set up. Its fairly cheap to. I just used 2 pcv caps and a 3 inch toliet tube drill a hole in the top of it place a autozone filter on it. Then I drill three holes in the side of it and ran two lines from both valve covers into it and where the stcok pcv valve goes I into the intake I took the line from that and place it above the rest of the holes as a vac source to keep the oil smell out the car. total cost 35bucks and 2 hours. (because Im slow) No oil in my intake clean as a whistle. But one thing I wish I did was put a drain spigot on it. I have to unscrew once every 4 months to drain it.
