Let's start with the "various reasons"...while they do blow some oil
vapor, it shouldn't be excessive. Why did you install the can, and
what kind is it? Does it have a filter/separator/baffles, or just an
open can with in+out ports? The "just a can" setups are virtually
worthless, baffles aren't much better.
Oh- and is it vented to atmosphere anywhere? If so, you'll fail
emissions, with excellent reason; crankcase gasses are -extremely-
polluting (which is why they're recirc'd!)
