Take off your intake pipe and ull notice oil residue, providing its got some miles on it. Catch can prevents this.

Battery is in the trunk. The catch can bracket is attached to one of the bolts on the thermostat housing. Good Luck...

Try and keep the can lower than the breather so the oil makes it way down the hose.
