I have been doing some homestyle mod with my baby lately, I noticed that there's engine oil everywhere inside all the hoses. So I am thinking to do a oil collector inside my engine bay. Any suggestion of where to purchase and installations steps and where should I install it??

BTW,any bad consequences if I leave this issue alone??

 

see prior cincyTT posts.

if you're referring to something else, i apologize, disregard.

 

You are having oil go through the turbo, into the charge piping, pooling in the ic, and some even forming a crust in your TB and even more going into the combustion chamber.

I use a air compressor filter and fittings on my car, only cost about $30 and works great. You can get everything from Home Depot or Lowes.

 

What line is recommended to splice the catch can into?

 

you only have one to choose from. Its the vent in your valve cover that runs back to your intake. The older cars this is the only line, the newer cars have a second line that comes from under the intake manifold aswell. Ill post a pic in a min

 

Turbocharging System, Overview
1 - Vent line
From gravity valve at fuel tank.
2 - EVAP canister
With Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve -N80-
3 - Turbocharger
4 - Check-valve

11 - Pressure control valve for crankshaft housing ventilation
12 - Combination valve
For Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system
13 - Fuel pressure regulator
14 - Check-valve
15 - Recirculating valve for turbocharger -N249-
16 - Secondary Air Injection (AIR) solenoid valve -N112-
17 - Crankcase ventilation
18 - Check-valve

Checking function. See: Emission Control Systems\Air Injection Pump\Testing and Inspection
21 - Vacuum reservoir

 

Thanks- appreciate the map!

 

only good if people can follow it

 

The nature of give a helping hand worth some credit. Good reference tho, thx and cincy also.

 

Yea... I also have wondered and asked about the catch can thing... and never knew where it was. I dont have a home depot though. What exactly would I be buying from home depot if i did though? Maybe I can get it from Chong's Depot or something. Hose? Can (coke can, tuna can?)? clamps?

Im gonna do my valve cover polishing soon (once i get the sanding and buffing discs for my 3D orbital sander)... maybe i can do this then too if it goes on some common drain on the valve cover. -shrugs-
I ask because one of the cloth braided pieces of **** vac hoses that wraps back under the intake manifold is filled/covered with oil. No oil leaks on any seals or gaskets on the engine exterior... just that friggin hose; which leads me to believe the oil is coming from inside the hose. Guess I'll find out tomorrow when i start swapping hoses finally.
