    I think I fixed my leak! And it looked like it has been a problem in the past. There was some sealant that was already there that was a different color from anything else I've ever seen in the truck (The white/yellow stuff). You can see where that black stuff has completely fallen out because it had been wet and just fell apart. It would literally crumble in my fingers.

    The hole at the top is the fresh air intake for the A/C for reference. Removing that blower unit sucked. Getting it back in was equally as fun.

    Yea I know, I'm not losing much oil to the catch can but its a cheap little thing that I wanted to do. Wether there are any major benefits besided keeping all that oil from gunking up the intake plenum is beyond my understanding

    Ok, cool, was looking at the ones from Amazon. Not sure if I want red, maybe get unpainted ones and powdercoat them myself the color I want. Thanks

    Red wasnt my first choice either, and the paint job looks a little chipped and poorly done upclose but they came with a rotors and pads package for cheap so I took em. I wanted powdercoat green or blue personally. I bet it would look sweet

    Red wasn't my first choice either, but you can't beat the deal. I also ended up with the red brake lines to match!

    I knew I wouldn't want to go to the trouble of getting them coated once I had them in my hands so red it was. Plus, they look cool with stickers! :p
