Greddy catch can placement?

By Civic Servient
- Sat Jan 10, 2009 9:50 pm #88113 I have a 94 lx w/ a d15b7 and a greddy catch can that is currently hooked up to the cold air intake (pre throttle body) and to the upper passenger side of the valve cover. It's never seen a drop of oil in it, but I'm losing about 1/3 of a quart of oil a month. It's never left a puddle under the car. So I was thinking of hooking up the catch can to the pcv system. Is that going to screw things up vacume wise or any other way that anyone knows about? The catch can was installed by the previous owner so I don't even know if its supposed to go their. Thanks for any help.

You could be losing oil on a high mileage motor through the rings or valve seals.
