catch can fluid
recently, my Saikou oil catch can from the value cover to the intake has been filling up very quick. almost 2 oz. every race weekend. what worries me is that the fluid is very thin and smells like gas or thin out oil. the one in the back have a very small of oil in it and the oil is thick like normal oil. is this normal?

i'm running AMSOIL 10w40

IMHO 2 ounces of whatever it is, is not worth worrying about.
