Can I ask what brand or model your smaller catch can is @sk66 ?I have a smaller catch can located on the firewall where the vacuum solenoids were, also an added valve cover breather.
Van was down for 2 weeks... many tasks, few accomplishments, and I almost killed the engine.
This all started while investigating a random odd noise and oil at/from the turbo... First I took off all of the intake stuff to inspect the turbo, which checked out fine in terms of bearings/play. Good news there, but plenty of oil from the valve cover breather. To get to the of the top of the...delicaforum.com

Sorry guys, I looked back at my purchase and turns out I picked up a Provent 100. Quite a bit smaller than the 150 but according to the spec should have no problem for our engine output.
They have several part #s for the 100 I purchased part# 3931070793. This configuration has the inlet to the side rather than the rear. It will also work with an engine up to 136hp. Looks like they updated the designs and may have given the 150 the boot. But the new part #'s don't seem to appear outside of the Provent Site.
Grabbed the Provent here: https://www.dieselfiltersonline.com/search/393107079.
@Hedgehog, think of this as a glorified air filter. The dirty air enters from the side. Oil accumulates on the filter, drips and drains out the bottom. The air that passed through the filter is then sent back to the air inlet.
For the oil that drains to the bottom, you can manage this two ways: 1. help it find its way back into the sump or run a tube with a valve on the end and drain it at every oil change. This seems to be the easiest and preferred method amongst the 4WD guys.
Hope this helps.
