51664, Smoke Out Of Catch Can???? Posted by lonnie1977, Jul-07-03 02:11 PM I just hooked up the passenger side port( I believe the pvc valve) to my catch can last weekend. This weekend I noticed more like a steam (instead of an oil like smoke) coming out the breather filter on the top. I did a compression test and got (Passenger side first) 215/215/210/211. And the car runs fine with about a table spoon of an oil like reside in the can after a week of driving( alot of hard driving also). Is this normal??? | |

IMO, you should keep it hooked up at the valvecover, this way you can keep a negative pressure in the crank case. Its not really a big deal if you are NA, but if you have turbo, then i say def keep it at the valvecover. There really is no need to route the PCV to a catch can anyway..the valve cover is already vented thorugh the breather line.. | |
