For a while, I've been leaking oil from my breather, and now it's getting all over the engine bay. I have a ZPI kit, but I know someone with Turbonetics kit that's having the same problem in that area.

Will an oil catch can solve that problem?

 

i am certain an oil catch can will solve that problem. good luck with that though mang!

 

i think it should be adressed as to WHY ur squirting oil from ur breather. i dont think that should be happening... yeesh!

 

I had the ZPI Stage 0 and The breather( I had a small Cone Filter on it) would get really saturated with oil. It did not squirt that I know of... hard to tell because of the filter.

watching..

 

That's exactly what happened to me at first, Upgraded to the 1.5, and now there's oil splattered about.

It's not like the oil is just flying out of the cone lol, but I do notice that there's a lot of oil splattered on my piping and head.

 

do a compression test, or have a shop do one. You could have bent a valve or cracked a ring landing and could be pressurizing the oil pan causing more blowby than supposed to be. which also is hard on your turbo since it cant drain correctly if the oil pan has pressure. if a compression test comes back ok then just an oil catch can to soak it up.

 

An oil catch can is what we all need. A light mist over time is probably what you are describing.

 

yea I agree with you rhythmnsmoke!!!!!!

 

see i was right! haha

 

Yep, I think that's what it is.

 

Most cars with just a breather filter will have oil come out of it. You can wipe down the area around the filter and if there's a lot of oil there the next day then I'd do a compression/leakdown test. If it's not bad, then yes I would definitely get a catch can.

 

yes, a baffled or filtered catch can, either from moroso or the DC 3... here is a good install...

Ok, bought the oil catch tank, but I'm still getting oil coming out from the other side of tank. One of the tubes is connected to the PCV, but I'm not sure where the other hose should be connected to.



Also, how do I perform a Compression/leakdown test?

 

^^You know what, I was just about to do a DIY on how to do a Compression/Leakdown Test. I think I will do a video DIY on it, instead of write-up.

In the mean time, you can go buy a pressure tester ($30 at O'Riely's Autoparts).


PS.....Nice Catch can setup. Is that a 20G turbine?

 

nice travis...thats the one where the lil leprachaun jumps into your cylinder head and starts dancin around and bouncing up and down, 2 steppin' to the beat while he does the compression test right?
what the hell is O'rileys lol

 

^^lol...

You don't have one of those where you live? Never heard their song/slogan? Oh...Oh...ORieeeeeeeely's.....Auto Parts! Man you got to come to the south I guess...LOL. If not, just go to Advance Autoparts or Autozone. You DO have one of those don't you?....lol.

 

maaaan....gimme a pep boys and Im happy

 

catch can would solve that...

travis DO ET... video of the compression test would be good...

 

^^Pep Boys FTW!!!.....lol

Yeah, I'll do a real quick vid on it. It's pretty easy really. When I realized what little you had to do, I was like.... "That's IT!"

 

Yep that's the 20G.
