RE: oil leak

if ur running an aftermarket bov it is common for oil to be dripping around that area. the occ just reroutes the oil back into ur engine instead of leaking/spreading it around the ic hose

RE: oil leak

The "catch" can does just what it say's. It cathes the oil and holds it before it gets into the throttle body and intercooler. It installsin the line from the pcv valve to the throttle body.
