Does anyone know if the Greddy Type-S leaks at idle?

Wouldn't be much of a valve if it always leaked, would it? It's not supposed to leak unless it's broken. Did you really expect anyone to say "yes it's designed to leak"?

Some BOVs leak at idle including the 1st gen dsm BOV. Could someone that knows what they are talking about please answer?

I imagine the answer to your question would depend on the spring/adjustment in the bov and the idle vacume of the engine.

You may want it to leak

Yeah and the 2g BOV leaks. It's "made" to do that.

If you leak under vacuum, you might as well vent your BOV, too.
