oil leak

[Locke]

Run a catch can or a dump tube.

The simplest home made catch can is to drill two holes in the cap of a Gatoraid bottle, and run two tubes into the cap. Have one tube protrude a little deeper than the other. Connect the tube that dips down farther past the cap to the valve cover, and the other tube to your breather filter. The bottom of the two tube should be unequally below the cap and left hanging, hooked to nothing. Pack the Gatoraid bottle with Brillo pads (or something of the like) and viola! Oil (and much of the oil vapors) will be caught in the brillo pads, and collect in the bottle. Make sure to not let it get too full.

I am sure there a plenty of threads on how to assemble your own catch can on here if you search, likely a few different design variations, but the method I mentioned is probably the most basic.

I wouldn't recommend that since it's going to blow air into your PCV system while under boost. The AutoZone here sell small air breather filters which you can put on there if you don't want a catch can. Look at the pics in my profile for an example.

Where he has it plumbed in the pics would get alot of oil all in his compressor. I wouldn't do it like that, but it is before the turbo, so it won't pressurize his crank-case. Run the catch can.

So will this work or whats up?

Bumping is against the rules. (You ought to go back and delete that post before the thread gets locked or moved to the DET)

Good luck

So the way I have it plugged up is it good for right now? will anything bad happen?

It is before the turbo, so you won't pressurize your crankcase, but if there is alot of oil coming out (the purpose of the thread) I would not put it there, as all that oil will cover the inside of your compressor. I don't think it is a horribly destructive, but I would not do it like that.

Good catch. I didn't pay attention to where it was hooked up to. Although, I would there would still some bad cons to the way he did. i.e. If oil were still blowing through there, he would now be shooting into his turbo through the compressor. Then going through IC piping to the IC, and eventualy into his motor. I just realized you wrote that above me. Lol.

well I have it like that for right now till I have a catch can. I have one more question when i unplugged the hose from where its connected as shown in the picture on top and connected the breather filter again when I took it for a spin around my block i saw a bunch of blue smoke come out of the down pipe i mean alot so what i did i tried to step on the gas a little more and my car would not hesitate and more smoke will come out it did that a couple of times So when i got home and saw the filter it was all filled with oil again so i plugged it back to the way i had it before as shown in the pic and i ran my car again and it did not do this no more so my question is what can it be.
