no oil in catch can ): hey guys, i hav had my catch can for a while now, when it was jus installed it used to catch some good oil (with the new gen pcv valve) eversince i removed the can to seal it properly with silicone, the catch can willl not have any oil in it eny more! i even changed pcv valves and i even took off the silicone i added to seal it! i did a test by removing only the pcv valve and starting the car and slowly squirting oil in the hose that goes through the can! the oil enters the can then about 30 sec later i see the oilfrom the can going into the intake manifold!! thanks alot guys any help will be appiciated, i will try to put up some pics sonn thanks

What kind of catch can did you install? Sound like it doesn't have any kind of mesh or filter material inside condense and capture the oil. One thing that work well is get a lawn mover sponge air filter and stick that inside the can to catch the oil.
