Default PCV Catch Can

For you 1st gen GX owners, check your PCV hose to intake, does it have oil in it? Also good to look behind the throttle body to see if there is motor oil laying in the bottom of the intake. Mine was bad, so I installed this catch can. It came with junk hose so I got some good silicone vacuum hose instead.

I fab'd a small steel bracket and used existing threaded holes on the inner fender, also put a piece of neoprene rubber under the bracket to keep it quiet with a smidge of flex, etc. These ~$20 cans have a dipstick too, so I will check it every so often to see how much it's collecting.

Here's the can completed with hose. Used some new 1-wire spring clamps.

And it tucks under perfectly. This is the place to put one, if you do.

Update:
Do not use plain silicone hose, oil will permeate through it. I did not know that. The 1st 6" from the PCV my hose was "sweating" motor oil (very light coat on the hose).

Use nitrile lined hose, or any fuel / transmission hose.
