roadie, Thanks for the very quick response. Mine does not have any type of plug or disc on it. At this time I have things under the hood torn apart, so it will be several days before I can start it to see if there is any suction from it.............thanks again.

AbsoluteZero , Thank you very much for the detailed photo. With my obvious comprehension disability "a picture is worth a MILLION words. Would you happen to know if the ports where the "L" shaped hose connects were to be plugged, would it hurt anything to shoot a little compressed air in them...

This place is a gold mine of information. After seeing the above posts and diagrams I went out and looked at my 2002 I6 in the Trailblazer and noticed there is no cap/plug on that vacuum port...........very interesting. If this port was intended to be plugged and isn't, could this be a possible...

In the above post I forgot to ask a question. I am pondering the addition of a sight tube on "cobble can". This way I can better monitor any major accumulations if the thing even gets any oil at all...........In a way I am hoping it does so I can hopefully solve the mystery. I know I asked the...

Heavyblaze , I appreciate the heads up.............been there......done that. It is definitely Mobil 1 being sprayed in the passenger side forward fender well area, and leaving puddles on the cement. Last fall when it developed the oil problem I accidently stumbled across a lower leaking tranny...

Thank you very much for the information. I am going to look around at some local auto parts places today to see if they stock any catch cans. If they don't, I am going to fab up some quick but workable temporary can. My biggest worry is being able to find the proper sized hose that will fit on...

Hi, Over the past few months I have encountered what appears to be oil sprayed on the inside of the passenger side fender well area, along with a fairly good size oil puddle on the concrete under the radiator over by the front passenger side tire. Today I removed the throttle body and noticed...
