I was getting a serious oil smell in the cabin so I decided to check the CCs. I thought ok here we go again with more oil leaks.

My driver's side valve cover catchcan was almost filled to the top. With the stainless steel wool it holds maybe 4 ounces.

Lotta water/fuel and some oil. Passenger side had much less.

Passenger side catch can juice
Its 95% from the passenger side CC. 10 months...maybe just a few thousand miles of driving.
