I would not run the front krank vent. Boost into the crank case from a failed crank vent/s causes some issues.

 

For those that need a video, check out mine from my first track day. It happens right after 1:18 into the vid...

^ If you don't see blue smoke your not going fast enough

Time to get a catch can.

 

If you zoom into the picture near the coolant resovoir, I know it is crappy you can see my Endyn Oil Catch Can with a breather set-up. Been working perfect so far!

The smoke/oil thing is getting to be a real problem for me. At Roebling the other day the workers told me I was smoking a lot on track. A few days after I checked the oil and I was shocked it was bellow the X's. It took a whole quart to bring the oil level back up to normal.

I like the Krankvents idea but I don't think its legal to run them in AS for auto-x?

I think a catch can is ok but doesn't seem like the best solution, krankvents would actually keep the oil in there?

 

clearly I'm being an absolute eejot when i'm out on track as I've never had this happen !

Is it a case that prevention is better than cure here though and I should look into doing this to 'protect' the car?
