I am looking for the coolant overflow tank - i am planning to "convert" it into a poor man's oil catch can. Let me know if you have one (or two).

Dont want to pay $30 (x 2) for unknown quality - coolant tank is designed to be in the engine bay and able to handle those temperatures and hopefully will blend in without being flashy. And it has much greater capacity than those ebay ones.... i seem to need that capacity.

Oil catch can for what? If your engine is blowing that much oil in the pvc then time for a change... Those ebay ones work great. I had one for a while in my k8 and it accumulated quite a bit.

LOL I don't have the coolant overflow tank but I have 2 front and 2 rear window washer fluid tanks... :roll: :shock:

They seem to be made out of the same plastic... let me know if you are interested... :o

Its not blowing through the PCV valve - its blowing through the other hose that connects to the intake - it literally pumps oil through there under heavy acceleration. My air filter is dripping with oil. I dont have the time or money to open up the engine and see whats up - so maybe an oil catch can would be best.

If nobody else comes through i will take you up on that - those washer fluid tanks are huge - i probably would have a hard time "installing" it in the bay....
