guess you get use to text on a cell. Ok i'm getting oil from the vent tube on the drivers side valve cover. I've been searching all day for a solution. Only thing I've seen alot of people doin is catch cans. ok so i do that is this goin to release the crank case pressure? Isn't all thats doin is making a place for the oil to go to? Also i see them being mounted on pass. side. If I'm getting it from drivers side, don't i want to mount it on the drivers side?
its normal to get some oil vapor condensing on the filter when you have the tube plugged in. a lot of people don't plug that tube in btw, they attach a filter directly to either the tube or driver side valve cover. it is unusual, however, to get so much blowby and vapor that it actually pools and drips under your car. if you're getting a lot of blowby it could indicate a larger problem.
do you have any pics you can post up? what may seem like a major issue to you may turn out to be something normal once the regulars can clearly see what's going on.

I cleaned most of it up so the pics wouln't really help now i guess. Read alot on my350z and there are so many people doin this doing that, I don't know what one to go with. If i do the whole catch can thing. Is this goin to release the crank case pressure I'm haveing?
The line that went to the intake filter had oil in it.. We disconnected that line and installed a breather.. And installed the catch can.. We didn't check if the intercooler had oil in it. He was running 10lbs and now its only boosting to 5psi..
unplugging that tube from the intake filter and installing a breather isn't going to cause a loss of boost. something else changed. did you guys had to loosen some of the piping going into the throttle body to get access to the breather tube? are all of the lines going to and from the new catch can air tight?
Yeah he took the pipe going to the throttle body off.. I guess we will have to check it all again but it all seemed tight.. he just Texted me and said oil is pouring out of that breather filter we installed on that line.. I think he has a bigger problem..
if he is pouring out alot of oil from the breather hole it could mean his rings are going bad. i would advice in getting a pressure test done. i had this happen to my sr20 and i lost compression in one cylinder and rings were shot.
Thxs frank for updateing everyone. Ok last night i took everything off cleaned all piping and innercooler from all oil. Just talked to Vince at rt tuning. The catch can is not air tight. I did not install a check valve because i couldn"t find on as of yest. Vince said yest that I didn"t have to do it rt away. When i called him this morning he said now that he thinks about it I do cause the can is vented. I'm going to cap off the manifold and see if it 100% cc pressure (This is wht he said to do) If it is i'm going to drill the pcv valve out and get rid of the pcv system. I'm goin to tie in the drivers side vent tube into the catch can and see what happens. O yea and my car is now running lk **** at idel. Any one have any input it would be great!!!!!!! Thxs guys o yeah and Frank if your feeling FROGY come on over and give me a hand!!!!! lol
