I've seen a few posts on here where people have installed a small filter as a crankcase breather with mixed results... SHM (http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/) now has a separator that you can install instead. :)

"Problem Solver"

New - Oil Breather Separator
Reduce oil consumption and Detonation! $119.95

This is an essential component that can reduce or eliminate oil consumption through the intake system. If you've removed your throttle body and noticed oil buildup then you need an oil breather separator to absorb the oil and prevent it's passage into the intake system.
SHM Recommends the use on an oil breather separator for all supercharged and high performance naturally aspirated applications. It is especially beneficial for vehicles used for open track events, where vehicles run wide open for extended periods of time.

I e-mailed SHM and asked them about one for the PCV side, they said it is in the works. So, I would assume you will be able to have a matching set soon. :HOPPY:

I have one of those installed in my car along with a catch can on the PCV side. Was using a K&N breather cap on the passenger side but a small amount of oil was sometimes being blown out through it onto the coil cover

I think Steeda is making one for the PVC side. Not a bad idea to add to your car.

Steeda does make them, but its cheaper to run up to home depot and pickup a water seperator for an air compressor. Its the same thing that steeda is using but for less.

SHM says the one they are going to have for the PVC side will look like the one they have now, but with a hole and grommet on the top for the PCV valve.:)
