      oil catch can question

      alright from what ive seen and heard your suppose to put the oil catch can in the line from the pcv line to the intake pipe....now i was just on another forum and that said it isnt good to run it that way and i shouldnt be getting oil into the intake from that hose unless my rings are shot so is that guy correct or what? he said it should be put inline with a hose that runs directly to the intake mani im pretty sure every car ive seen has it hooked up the way i have it?

      splice it into the unpressurized oil breather line up to the manifold/intake.

      a leak and keeping oil out of the intake are different things?

      oil line fittings to and from turbo charger may be the source of the oil leak. my mechanic suggested installing oil catch can tho.
