Did a search but nothing came up. After installing the Magnuson supercharger on my Alpha, I started thinking about installing a catch can on the breather. I dont want any oil residue to gum up the internals of the supercharger. I have heard some vehicles are really bad about this, but have not heard if the 5.3's have a issue with this happening. I know there are 2 breather tubes, 1 on each valve cover.
The right breather goes to the air cleaner tube, the left plugs into the supercharger intake housing. Just wondering if I should use a catch can on either or both of these, or run them to small filters and let them vent on their own or just not worry about it because its not a issue on these motors. There was some oil residue in the original air intake tube around where the right side hose ran and a small amount on the inside of the throttle body. Some of that could have been from a over oiled K&N air filter from the previous owner, just want to head off any future problems.
