    I have noticed that my JMB catch can (with the K&N breather) is not collecting any oil, there seems to be a little being forced out of the tube coming out of the passenger side valve cover and collecting by the valve cover bolts.
    Any one elso notice this?
    My SRT8 Jeep practically fills its catch can every 3 thousand miles or so.
    I checked it on the weekend and nothing is blocked....

    I have one from BT and now that I'm driving the truck more often whatever it is catching is evaporating and just leaves a dried brown substance in the bottom. I would think if it's filling it up that means a lot of blow by which is not good. Not sure if i'm looking at this right though, I'm sure more will chime it.......

    I have a Billet Tech CC on my Jeep and the amount of oil collected is about normal for mine and other owners.
    It doesn't have the K&N breather filter and it has sort a steel wool filter inside that condenses the oil and causes it to deposit in the can,
    Perhaps with the JMB the oil vapor is just being released thru the K&N filter?
