pcv valve fix question okay i did the fix for my pcv valve where you put the air\ moisture seperator in line after the pcv valve on route to the throddle body ive had it on there not for like 50 miles and all seems good i do see a minute and i do mean minute sliver of oil on the side of the container where the oil is suppose to collect. but my question is i mounted the the "catch can" to my stb which makes the hose from the pcv valve have to run at a steap incline to reach the filter and then a decline to the TB will this cause any problems... my fear is that some pooling might occour in the line between the pcv valve and the filter causing the air flow to be restricted thus causing the engine to not properly ventwhich would suck ... so i guess im saying will the oil that dont make it up the incline flow back into the crank case or just sit in the hose between the valve and filter and mess things up ???

ill puload a pic but the actual filter is mounted above the pcv its strapped to my stb right above my oil cap so the hose running from valve to the filter has to travel at a incline to meat up with the filter the only way to resolve this is to mount the filter lower than the pcv valve but it will look like crap and be hard to access if i do that so thats why it is where it is
