Default Oil catch can mounting point? > Need a picture

I am still getting some oil in my intake and TB. I am going to install a catch can. I did a search, but did not find any pics as to the best place to mount the catch can.

The engine is using no more than a 1/4 qt at 4,000 miles, but the very little oil it is using is obviously going through the PCV system. I just don't want any carbon buildup on the pistons or intake valves.

Could someone please post a pic or two as to where you mounted the can.

Much Thanks,
Ron

There was a photo posted a while back where they had it mounted next to the freon accumulator; looked like a very clean installation. BTW, if that was all oil mine used, I wouldn't complain.

Not complaining at all. However, when I look into the TB, its wet with oil. Just want to have a dry intake tract.

I put mine behind the passenger side headlight. I'll post pics tomorrow.
