Well after 5,000 miles, I decided to drain it. 1/2 to 1 cup of oily looking residue drained out. I can see how if this gets into the intake manifold and sits on top of the secondaries, that it could harden.



I started thinking about this, and I'm left to wonder something.. That amount of sludge cann't normally all be recycled without a seperator installed. What I'm getting at, is that when I see the design of a PCV valve, it has a design to deflect any decently sized droplets of oil by splashing against the face of it.

Not saying that none of it goes it, but that's just way too much oil being burnt.

EDIT: I also noticed you said it wasn't full, but I don't think it ever would be under normal operating conditions, since the bottom portion of the collector is acting more like a sewage trap. Most of the contaminants that aren't absorbed by the sponges would probably just drain back down the line that attaches to the valve cover.
