guys with vented rocker covers inside
I had a problem with crank case pressure on the dyno awhile ago. I've since replaced my pcv valve and vented the front of the passenger side rocker cover with a little air filter. Today I made several 6k shifts and when I got home and popped the hood to make sure every thing is still in one piece. I noticed some oil on the rocker cover and the little filter was soaked. We're talking 2-3 oz max so its not puddles. Just enough to make a small mess. Would this be considered normal for blower engines or do I need to look in to something.

my vent system
Here is my venting system on my TT ZO6 Vette. You can see the passenger side. The driver side is the same but runs behind the motor and goes to a catch can in by the battery.

I also have 1 more question this winter I will be making another can thats alittle nicer can I take the 2 lines on the rear rocker cover and run them in to the vented catch can and remove the pcv all together then cap off the side of the intake? I'm guessing thats what your setup is (NASTY & JEFFY)?

I have seen the catch cans for sale that hook up to vacume and the valve covers. At what point do you need to go to a vented catch can, and do away with the vacume all together?

Any thoughts on the rest of my pcv... Do I need to cap off the intake and run the two rear rocker cover tubes in to this can as well???

I have not seen the inside of one before. But I have these pads that soak up oil in my shop and I cut one and jamed in the bottom so the oil can get soaked up.
