blowing through the line...i could hear air escaping the pcv obviously. I checked because im considering routing a line and pump to the catch can for my return. this raised the question...is the check ball vacuum actuated shut since a factory line from the stock intake is hooked up to the catch can? with no vacuum or boost the ball should remain open from the feed side and prevent opposing "splash" which may have stopped your leak from occuring.

this is all speculation though and i am in no way educated enough to say 100%...just a long winded thought.

I ran my scavenge pump straight to the air oil separator middle port and capped the outer 2. I also removed the check ball. I have about 200miles on the setup and it’s been working fine. Only reason I did it this way was because the car was already together and I switched from air cooled turbos to conventional oiled. When I take to all apart again, going to remove the whole air oil separator setup and run the scavenge pump directly to the m22 port as well as remove the tube in the oil pan
