Well i noticed today when my temp gets up to normal temp , i noticed a light steam coming from the breather on the valve cover and the breather on the catch can i have. The catch can is the Endyne one thats set up on the back of the block .
I havent redone the comp test, but last time i did it a few weeks ago the comp test was excellent. the motor maybe has like 1500 miles on it. only like 500 of them were from since i got it in my car.

the car drives great. It smokes a little from the exhaust, but i just put that in my head that its lack of tuning. i tuned it kinda rich until i can get to the tuner to do the maps like dead on .

Could it just simply be the temp of the oil causing the light steam from the breathers?

If you are venting your crankcase vapors via your catch can to the atmosphere, there will always be steam when the engine is warm. That is perfectly normal as the vapors coming out of the engine will usually be hotter than atmosphere. (unless you are driving on Mars) As far as the car 'smoking', could be many things of course. Keep an eye on your oil level -- it's really easy to 'justify' rich tuning whenever smoke is seen.

yea oil level is perfect, i check it before i drive it every time . i only drive it maybe once a month. lol.

Bu ti just wanted to make sure, the vent on the valve cover got me the most, but i wasnt sure if it had to do with my catch can set up or the oil tmp or whatever
