Default I need help with a PCV problem

I'm gettin OIL in my New Throttle Body.. LOoks like it's gettin thru the PCV... Anyone have a catch can installed on their LS1?
Road Race Engineering has a filter on the top of theirs. I had that on my turbo eclipse but I had PCV disabled too. so I don't think it mattered.. I really need some technical understanding on what to do..
it'd be nice if one had a drain to.. to just flip a lever and it pours out the little spout..
go to

to see em . I'm not sure which one is better on an NA car..
HELP!

dude, before u spend money and time on a catch can, just make an adjustment to your type of oil. next oil change, use 2quarts of mobil 1 15w-50 and 4 quarts of mobil 1 10w-30. if your oil consumption is lite to moderate, this may eliminate the need for a catch can. at the very least, it will help curb it. patman said this mixture is cool, so no worries. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
