Default Oil Catch Tank 2007 WRX - Modded

Afternoon folks.

Last Friday I had a catch tank fitted. Been smelling oil in the cabin ever since, so today being bored at work I thought I'd check it out. Looks like it's been leaking from the top somewhere, although it's not full. Creamy oil/water mix all over the shop!

Any quick way of cleaning it up? Anyone suggest a good way to seal the pipes so it can't leak from there? (just using breather pipes).

And anyone fitted one in a hawkeye? Any suggestions on where to fit it? It's a nightmare, no space!

Thanks

Managed to liberate some hose from work...seems to fit perfect. How do I run it behind the cabin to avoid the smells?

Which is the best path? Cheers

mine runs down the rear of the engine bay and runs along side the chassis leg on the passenger side.

How long pipe do you think I'll need approx? Also, what's the advantage of venting to atmosphere?

My vent to atmosphere pipe is around 2 metres long running from the catch can to virtually the rear wheels along the underfloor.

I am surprised that the can was full or leaking.
