So I pulled my intake off and sure enough on every closed valve there was a small pool of oil. Picked up a set of felpro seals today. Now just to find a spring compressor.

That's not good!!How many K's is on your GT?Shouldn't be seeing that at all.

Whosit

90k. From talking to a few people locally it doesn't seem unheard of to need seals around 100k.

Crazy,that just blows me away.I mean,look what the oldschool v8's got for k's without issues except for the odd oil leak due to aging gaskets LOL!

Whosit

Well basically this is the same. A leak from an aging gasket. It's not even a big deal but for the price of the seals and an afternoon I may as well do it.

The thing is that this is no basic job for some to tackle.
Your just lucky that your very mechanically enclined.

It's common on these cars. If you just start the car, then turn it off such as to move it, then next start up it will smoke. If you let it warm up and take it for a ride, next start up, it's good. I wouldn't stress about it. As far as the catch can, driver's side is where you want it.

From what I have seen boosted motors tend to vaporize a significant amount of oil. The catch can is a great solution. When I swapped my plenum over Christmas the oil inside was disgusting and very apparent that an n/a 2v can benefit from one as well. Has anyone got any ideas on a home built piece. Please inbox me with instructions

GT is driver's side. The passenger side sucks clean air in from the air intake and it circulates through the motor and out the driver's side. The air on the driver's side also has the oil droplets that are sucked up and into the intake manifold where it fouls the intake, the charge motion plates. The seperator will filter this oil out preventing from entering the air intake. Hooking up to the passenger does not accomplish what you're trying to do.

driving the way I do should I worry about this?
