I've got our 2016 5.7 1500 in for an oil leak, and the service advisor just called me to say it's the intake manifold. He said no problem, we'll order a new manifold and cover it under your Maxcare warranty. Then he says, "I see you have a oil catch can on there... I'm not going to say for certain it caused the problem (possible over pressure, etc)... but I'd recommend taking that catch can off and putting it back to factory". So they are going to cover the repair, which is great... and I also felt brave enough to ask if they are going to make any note about the catch can installed (as to if it may be used against me later to potentially void my Maxcare warranty) and he said no, he isn't going to say anything. Real easy going guy I've had a good relationship with. My question is, has anyone ever heard of an oil catch can causing any kind of over pressurization or oil leak from the intake manifold on a 5.7? It's the Mishimoto can, first offered here back in 2016 (I think). I've pretty much decided to take this as a warning and best to not argue and take his advice and put back the original hose, so they don't have any grounds to deny/void warranty because of "modification".
Now I don't want to turn this into a catch can debate! But does anyone have any thoughts to potential problems having used one?
