Default Need a better power steering cap, oil stick, breather. Blow buy.

It's a boosted engine and the valve cap breater I got from speed inc spurts oil mist out. If I cap it I get blow buy out the oil stick. (Small amounts)

I found the lockable Lokar oil sticks at Jegs, look like good units. Any feedback.

Biggest issue is my power steering cap spits a little fluid out the top anyone know of a better cap or remedy.

Ditch the breather setup and install a catch can. No sense in oiling down your engine bay

Getting locking tubes/caps is a band-aid to your excessive crankcase pressure (bad)

Leaking PS reservoir is generally a sign of too much fluid. Normal seepage is expected overtime but fresh fluid should not run out on a regular basis

You can put a sweatband on the breather on you valve cover

That still wont prevent oil from being blown out

Covering up the problem with an armband doesnt solve it
