Yeah I know there a no no for water. But just a thought as a lot of us street trucks run them.

I agree with scottie on this one, there should be no way your engine has enough pressure to need a catch pot...
I'd go with Darrells idea and check the PCV valve first! Cheap and easy!
You definitely haven't overfilled it with oil?

it's not a problem really, it's the smallest amount of oil ever, it's just sort of stuck to the inside of the air box, it's not a run or full flow of oil or anything, just a very small amount..
if you all have the same thing, a very small amount of oil in the air box then obviously I don't need to worry about it, thanks guys, means I don't have to spend £60 on a tank..

I overfilled mine once due to a seemingly too short dipstick, the pressure pushed the oil out into the airbox and I was driving around with clouds of blue smoke pouring out the back
Nice easy fix though!
