After 4500 miles since rerouting my CCV in early April, I finally pulled the plug on the trap and drained out about 2-3 ounces of oily liquid. I can only estimate how much was there because the bucket my son handed me to use already had a slight amount of oil in the bottom of it from when I sampled my oil for Blackstone, and I didn't see the oil in it before draining the CCV trap.

The total amount from the bucket was 4 ounces. I am sure that there was at least 1 ounce already in the bucket, but not sure of the exact amount. I transfered the catch from the bucket to a clear pint jar so I can see how much non-oil condensate is there once it all separates over the next several days.

Conclusion, I going to replace my screw in plug in the trap with a short PVC fitting with a valve in it to make the whole thing easier to drain.

 

Do you have your CCV hose ran straight down or up over the brake booster? Just curious...

I have it run up over the master cylinder, so what I am catching is definitely a combination of condensed vapors and/or occassional droplets of liquid carryover.

I keep meaning to take shots of my install and put them in my gallery, but just haven't taken the time to do it yet.

 

Okay, so that means I must be getting some out of there as well, but it most be so little that it's just shoots out when the engine is under load, because I never see anything under the end of the hose after parking or even idling. And I have a little smoke, but not much to speak of. Since I had oily boots, it must've been coming out of there...

Probably blowing out at higher velocities when you're traveling down the road. I put a coarse scothbrite pad as a "mist eliminator" in the discharge of my trap, so I should be catching all entrained moisture droplets whether they're oil or some other condensed liquid.
