Shouldn't see anything after that, its daily driving that does it. Should take months to fill even if used daily.

That sounds a lot, the can run to both breathers?

Yeah both breathers
Daily driving there is nothing
On full boost giving it abuse ( on my private track ofcourse) it put a little in but I have since hammered the shit out of it again and it's not filled anymore so I have no idea

Was going to say maybe the pcv valve is gone letter oil come out. They do say you should run the pipe up slightly to reduce the about collecting.

Strange if its not doing it now.

Pcv has been taken out

The pipe goes up a bit now but had a hammering again and tiny amount more so it ain't a great deal
I'm gonna do a leak down test and just see where it's coming from

Know you can take it the pcv valve out when running a catch can, left mine in.
Sounds like its not much, may well be something wrong. Not damaged the underside of the rocker cover? Isn't there a cover plate to reduce oil escaping thought the breathers
