Recirculating Catch Cans? Has anybody used of thought about using a Recirculating Catch Can? wouldnt this solve the loss of oil if all oil collected by the can was sent strait back to the oil pan?

Have you ever seen the crap that the catch can collects? It looks like thin turkey gravy and water. There is no way I'd want that going back into my oil pan.

Might not be the best idea. The catchcan probably collects as much water vapor from the crankcase as oil mist. The stuff in my 'pcv filter' sometimes looks like a milkshake gone bad..
