Same here, aklim. 
Mine dumps right below the driver's seat, and the only time I smell it is if I come to a stop light, with my window down, and the breeze wafts it just right... I might get a hint of it. The only way to get a steady whiff of it is to bend down and sniff around under the running board.
Sitting still w/ windows up, or just any time I'm actually driving/moving, it's completely unnoticeable.

I saw what International does and basically did the same with a rubber hose and not a rigid tube. It goes straight down.
I will never understand what it is with people that go sniffing at their truck. Sounds doggy to me. Kinda like dogs sniff each other's butt. Just like people talking about biodiesel and the french fry smell. I don't go sniffing exhaust so even if it smells like roses, I won't know or care.

I used 5/8ths heater hose (~23'), some zip ties, a 3" ID (it's 4" OD) PVC coupler for the CCV coupler replacement, and a 5/8ths hose coupler to join the new hose to the existing elbow. Then I ran the hose over the brake master cylinder, down the firewall, and along the frame to the back. No problems, and a super easy mod...
That was my first mod because of the oily mess. I can actually thank my oily block/CAC tubes for finding this site. When I did a search for something like "F250 Diesel oil leak" FTE was one of the hits. And now I've been a modding fool ever since. So I guess I can blame my PMS on that too.

Alother thing. 3 in ID and 4 OD tells me that the PVC tube is 1 in thick. That correct? I used the ITP kit and it bolts to the place where the CCV coupler used to go to so it doesn't do the Shake, Rattle and Roll.

Also I was reading that others have found increased pressure doing it this way instead of letting it vent to atmosphere.

Anyone have a 6 or 8" piece they wouldn't mind sending to me (I gladly pay shipping!!)...
