Default Oil Catch can not catching any oil

Hi i've had my catch can for 6 months. Its still looks like new
the lines are still clear. and no liquid in the tube measurer.
I havn't taken it out to check but looking at it its not catching any oil.

Yes all the lines are connected. It is a CUSCO round cylinder type.

well then i really dont know what to tell u..i guess just get a new pcv valve.. do you have a high idle at all?

i have a greddy catch man and it's routed the same way yours is and it caught alot of gases and oil and what not..soo much i could dump it out..it was crazy , almost a 1/2 pint..

another thing to try would be to spray some carb cleaner in the pcv valve..that can clean them out well..

Simply because it rattles does not mean it is working. Just buy a new one and be done with it. They are like three bucks.

You have it routed right, must be a blockage somewhere, definately replace the PCV if it's only $3.
Try $68 for a PCV here in NZ
