I was going to make a soda bottle oil catch to collect the oil.
I want this for two reasons. The first is to see how much is blowing by, and the second is to stop that source of oil underneath my rig. I have some other leaks to track down and the wind blowing that oil mist everywhere makes it a bit tought. Plus, while not thinking checmically, I plan on redoing my frame and the last thing I want is oil all over it....
For those interested, the way to make the pop bottle collector, you just cut a soda bottle in half, slide the top half onto your blowby pipe and tape it on with something that can resist heat. Make sure to poke some holes in the neck of the bottle before this step.
Then, push and form steel wool below the holes you poked, but above the end of the pipe. Pack tight or find some way to glue it into place., then tape the bottom half of the bottle on. The wool makes the oil condense and fall back into the bottle, while the poked holes let gasses out.
I read about this on a thread here (no idea where it is) and have yet to try, but since I am going to install a new tranny soon, I'd like to clean up the underside and fix all of the easy leaks before I get under there for the afternoon.
