Oil catch can
Once I established it was a generic part, I ran a search for "oil catch can" on fleabay and they are showing up anywhere between $20 (inc. shipping!) to $90.
Some of these look real good with oil level indicator and all. |

Re: Oil catch can
be careful, some of the $20 ones have no baffling to separate the oil out

Re: Oil catch can
The ones I'd seen with oil level indicators seemed to be rather large. It would be nice to have the capacity, but I'm not sure where it would fit in the engine bay.

 I don't think that I would install a inexpensive one on my car. Just MHO....

I Like the one Jeff uses but I need to see how it breaks down and the ease of disassembly first before I pull the trigger. Jeffvette mentioned making one a while back but had zero interest at the time. I dont think thats a true statement anymore
