I Don't Think That My Catch Can Is Working Properly! I installed the catch can in February, i do how ever barley drive the car, but there has never been really any amount of oil in the canisters.... WTF could be wrong with it???
The pics below, the arrows are both pointing to the left. So obvioulsy it is all coming outta the PCV first, going to the left then connected to the valley plate.
Let me know what you all think..

i will go ahead and look into that.. Thanks

What in that pic is connected to the valley plate?
What in that pic is connected to the valley plate?No i have never looked into the intake to see if there was any oil at all. 3 bolts and the TB comes, not a big deal....
the tube connected to the valley plate jsut completes the flow as if the catch cans were not there. Does that help?

ok i will still check..
Thanks
