So, catch can or perhaps (do they make a small inline filter ?) I've got the inside of that intake and valves clean as whistle now... I would hate to go through that process again very soon...

But the lines run directly into an inlet above the inside of the butterfly valve of the TB... I wonder if there's anything I can do to prevent the atomized oil from being sucked into the intake plenum... Granted, it wasn't really that bad considering 22,000 miles of really hard driving... But I'm like Andrew is about the outside of the car when it comes to the inside of my engine... Maximum HP comes from maintaining silly little things like that...
