I made a catch can for my BJ42's breather, which would give me a drop or two of oil as it cooled. I used a cheapie catch can from ebay, however, and I noted (but ignored) the fact that the ports were much smaller than the breather (ID of the ports was maybe 1/8", compared tot he 3/4" or so breather).
Since I had no puffing from the tube I figured it'd be OK, however I went out this morning after a good drive and find that I had a huge oil slick under the car. It looks like I got oil coming from just about everywhere, rear main seal, side cover, pressure sender, the works!! I'm down almost a full quart.
Did I do this by restricting the breather??
