My motor eats oil through the PCV into the intake. Would a mini breather can be worthwhile?

all motors eat oil through the pcv... if you put a breather on its just gonna get the breather all oily and it doesn't work quite as good

Not like mine brother. My intake gets a pool of oil in it. I was thinking about a mini breather can.

I put a T from the PCV to the oil filler nipple, and then from there to a nipple on the air cleaner box. I also have a supercharger, and this is the way I had to do it or else the PCV would blow out.

Yeah, dont remove the PCV and place in somethin like that
Oil will be ALL over the firewall, and you'll have odd idling problems when the engine is cold

Dont know about anyone else, but when i had a PCv problem where it was constantly popping off, well when it was disconnected and there for going straight to the air in the engine bay, may exhaust seemed to smoke alot. I would pull over plug it back up and problem solved no more smoke. SO my input would state that having it going to breathe in the engine bay would make it smoke? or maybe its just my POS that does this.

well you may have a compression ring(s) going as well..on my s/c car I don't use a pcv valve

One more time. Anyone else?

like vfast already said, you probably have worn piston rings that are letting way to much blow-by gases into the crankcase which is adding to the atomization of the oil in the crankcase and causing it to be sucked up by the PCV valve and deposited into the intake.
you could always hook up the smog pump to pull a vacuum on the crankcase and let it blow the oil laden air out into the exhaust pipe.
