Boomba Catch Can problems
I bought the catch can during the holiday sale. I installed it a few days ago, and after a few days of driving, I noticed that it is leaking oil where the glass meets the aluminum. That's pretty crappy for a catch can that cost me more than 100.00.

If you installed it in a very hot location, it could've warped the plastic part. I've been running one for a long time with no problems

Could you check if hoses connected to the CC are letting any air thru? Looks like the one on the left is totally collapsed.
