RE: Oil Catch Can Finally
I never did see any in my GReedy catch can, either, but if you see residue in the line, then chances are there is some in the can...it just isn't enough to show up in the sight glass...because the $20 OCC is clear (the bottom 2/3's of it anyway), you can see the first drops of oil right away...[sm=smiley4.gif]

RE: Oil Catch Can Finally
Was looking at the OCC today (about 1/3 full) and when I touched it to check the tightness of the fittings, I noticed a very slight film of oil on the outside of the OCC. I've been pretty regular about tightening the hoses/clamps, and the can is tight to the metal top. I guess this must be seepage from the hoses....it's not a concern, since I put it on a month ago and it hasn't leaked a single drop yet.....just a FYI.....[&:]

Hey roach, I noticed that your hose for your catch can seems to be pinched almost closed in your pics as it goes into the CAI.
Dusty, did you use teflon tape or a thread sealer before putting the ends into the OCC, that may be where it's leaking from.
