Pro charger leak issues?

99.9% of the time someone says they have a leak....

It turns out to be PCV oil vented into the system.



The blower oil is green, and leaks are so rare its nearly unheard of.

EXAMPLE: this is clearly engine oil, and NOT blower oil.

This is why i went with breathers, don't want motor oil in my head unit!

This is mine, I'm famous And [MENTION=11041]ProChargerTECH[/MENTION] was right.

I found my catch can filled to the brim, and evidently overflowing into the PCV inlet into the blower.

My catch can was just drained a few weeks ago, so I didn't even think of it. Turns out it was completely filled with an oily mess of water. SO MUCH water condensated inside the catch can that it filled it (and mixed with oil). I'm guessing due to the crazy weather changes in my area. I'm getting rid of the catch can as I can't have it filling with water every few weeks and then getting sucked into my blower.: Looking into Boostwork's catch can that has a breather on it and does not recirculate back into the intake. Was going to just run breathers originally until I read about the filter on them getting soaked with oil and dripping off unless cleaned very often.

Yea I checked my catch can about a week ago and it was filled with condensation,only had about 1000 miles on it.Was told to check it more in the winter months,but thinking about taking it off s also because I don't want water getting sucked into my motor giving me detonation

Yeah not worth the hassle IMO. I had some strange WOT behavior also, Lund said it suddenly seemed to need more fuel, so I think the oil/water was leaning it out.

Just actually resolved the issue today so i haven't tested to see yet.
