Heyo, I noticed a bit of white smoke coming from the filter on the top of my oil catch can. The catch can is set up with 2 hoses:
1. 1 hose running from the catch can to the vent just to the right of the exhaust manifold. (what is the tech name for this vent?)
2. The other hose running from the catch can to the fitting on the right rear corner of the rocker cover, just behind the distributer.

Any info about why smoke might be coming from here, and how to fix it would be mint.
Thanks.

Sounds like a bit of a worn engine to me. Does your catch can fill-up with oil or is there just smoke coming out of your catch can? At worst you might be experiencing "blow-by" which is the result of worn piston rings.
