Well, I finally had the time to go out and check my set-up. My view is a little obstructed by the Intake and ECS Heat Shield, so I can't get a clean look at the turbo oil feed lines without pulling it all apart. I tried to get a good look from as many angles as I could all around the engine. Aside form the normal valve cover seeping at the edges, I don't immediately see any oil leaks.
However, I do have considerable positive pressure coming out the oil cap opening once removed. Normal vacuum at the can itself. I remember reading a diagram that someone had pointed out a while back (before buying the can) about there being two channels for pressure in the OEM system - a primary and a deeper secondary channel.
I'd really like to Jason to get an ECS engineer in here to chime in. I love the design of this system and I'd really be disappointed if I had to pull it for long term safety - but now I'm concerned about the longevity of my seals.
Side note: How often do you find yourself emptying your can contents? I have to dump mine on average once a week. It's 95% condensation of course, but there's oil residue in every dump.
