i installed my catch can went to the track and in the first 2 passes i lost a 1 1/2 Q of oil before i hoked the hoses to the catch can i started the car up to make sure i had every thing right were the 14mm plug was on the left side it was blowing some oil when i reved it, but i'v seen cars with oil coming up there hoses before so i thought it would be ok. Have i over looked something? As far as my engine goes it was ok, before it smoked at idol but i have bad seals on my turbo it had all of it's normal power. No power loss.

I SEARCHED

Your post is hard to read, but from the looks of it either your catch can is hooked up wrong or you have alot of blowby either from ringlands or something else major.

 

it probably is oil slosh, when you launch, it runs up the oil galleys, into the tubes, is it set up to drain back?

 

no it does not have a drain back. i was wanting to know how much oil was going to collect in the catch can so i did not put one on it and i have seen people with out one so i left it off. i guess the main thing is i can put a drain back hose on the catch can but am i starving the engine from oil some were is this normal

fixed my first post
