R50/53 Oil Catch Can (OCC) Install
#26
Might be a little late also....I did a similar set up to Here2Go with my catch can placement but I don't have a factory alarm so I found a stud behind the hood release and mounted it there.

Very similar results... about 2 tablespoons of oil last time I emptied it.
***Every now and then I have a slight oil smell in the car (outside air comes in through this compartment) and I think it is coming from the CC. Eventually I may need to track that down.

Got it off Amazon. Rulline. (Overseas knock off). The lines that come with it are garbage. But it works well.
Post 146 here has some more info from the project

After searching various options I found something worth considering for anyone needing to eliminate extra hose line or for building out your own system. Before I go any further, I know there are better options out there considering silicone, pre-bent SAE30 etc. but I just needed something to address the PCV 180 from the valve cover to the can using the stuff I already dialed in and here it is...
HIMARKLIF PCV hose #12619363
This is a replacement PCV component for GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox (available on Amazon) that comes with a bit of SAE 30 on one end and plastic attachment on the other which I intend to remove. The open end should fit right into the existing hose line that is currently frankensteined together with plastic connectors. It's not metal tubing but a semi-flexible "flourorubber" similar to the grey PCV return line that goes down into the supercharger. I will shoot a before and after once installed.

Think what you will but a properly installed catch can will prevent some oil from being ingested into the engine....not a lot of oil but worth the effort. I rarely catch more than a tablespoon after a thousand miles. Yes, good, oil-resistant hoses and fittings are a necessity.
