Hey guys just asking what it's from or if somthings happen?
I just did an oil change/flush an also put an oil catch can in, only have the pcv valve hose going into it ATM and a a breather on the rocker cover. And when it's running it has a fair bit of blue smoke that comes out the rocker cover. The oil level is a tiny bit above max but idk if that's the problem.

is the can connected to suction from manifold?sounds like its not. I just ran a hose from pcv (with no valve, just valve case)down bulkhead to air stream under car.If your valve still has spring and no suction, the crankcase can only vent through the rocker cover and dip stick.

Ahhhhh I see. And no it's not under suction, it's kinda a cheapo one and just has 2 input and no filter or nothing. So take the pcv valve out? And just run the hose in there. Or drill the pcv valve centre out so it still sits in properly? Thanks heapss.

Take the PCV out and clean it up and the seal where it sits in, wash the valve out with petrol and suck on the hose should lift the valve up, if not then drill the centre out.

Put the PCV and hose back in and connect that to the manifold somewhere so it is sucking the fumes out,

What cap do you have on the cover? does it have a host outlet? T piece it and the PCV to connect to the manifold.

Righting. I pulled the guts out of the pcv valve so it's hollow. Ran the hose from the pcv valve into one of two inlet's on the catch can. I'm gunna go get some more hose today and run the second inlet to the manifold and leave the breather on the rocker cover,. Is this correct? If it's running back into the manifold.. what's the point in a catch can? :/ please explain, and thanks for the help.

If you are going to connect to the inlet manifold, you need the valve to work (so leave it intact)if you have already made it hollow connect the second catch can union to a hose running under the car to catch the air flow under the car and this will vent the crankcase.
The idea of a catch can is to catch any oil if the engine has a large blow past to the crankcase.

I just tried that, put a new pcv valve in. Then ran a hose to the catch can, then inthe other inlet thingo ran a hose to the manifold. No smoke but has a badd vacuum leak. When I squees the hose going to the manifold it stops the vacuum leak? Dunno aye

sounds as if the can is vented to atmosphere or you have an unsealed connection.
