Most folks leave it open I think.I put a screen fom a submersible pump on mine so nothing would build a nest in the hose...Do not know why something would build a nest in that environment but you never know
I do not see much dripping from mine.

yeah, the smoke's pretty normal, and there may be some drips of oil...think about it, look at your old oily boots and imagine that now, that oily residue is just blowing out the a$$...not blowing into the turbo, the intercooler, the boots, setting up inside the pipes...

I'm pretty sure mine is...it's been awhile since i did my CCV mod, and i cleaned everything up, but still have oil residue on the boots...hmmm...seems as though the 300+k on my truck b4 i did the mod may mean i need to replace my IC with a 6blow one...

Yeah went back to stock. Didn't like breathing all that smoke when hooking up a trailer. IDK but seems like a useless mod IMO. I'm sure I will get some chit from that.

thats there for emissions, if it wasnt for them, they'd roll off the lot with a smokin tube under em! although.....what if you welded a 3/4 pipe off the tailpipe ( pointed forward to create a siphon effect) and tied it to that. you would never notice the smoke then, the tailpipe gets hot, but so does the valve cover. id try it!
