Oil !!!
I have a little motor oil coming from the BOV vent and thought that a catch can would solve the problem but it didn't ! Should i worry ?

I've had the catch can on for about a 2 months ,and i hooked up the catch can according to PERRINS instructions ! It's not alot a can be rubbed off with your finger but will comeback once u drive it again !
How do you know it's motor oil and not just the little bit of grease that is on the piston when you first got it? I have the same BOV and notice the same thing on the piston, but it has always been there. No catch can here, just the K&N breather.

I read in the instructions that some special lube/oil should be used when doing maintenence on the BOV.
So, regular synthetic oil is good enough to lube the BOV piston? Seems like a good idea...
