Blowby and Breather Oil Leak- 2.7L 452,000 miles- Catch Can Help?

2005 Reg Cab 2.7. Orig owner, engine and trans.

So my engine runs fine, but its definitely got an oil leak. I suspect its from the greasy valve cover. I suspect the leak is from the breather tube. I dont care about blowby, just want to address the oil leak.

Will an oil catch can help the leak?

 

Wow - 452,000 miles, that is amazing to say the least. Sorry I can't help with advice.

 

No. If the breather tube (a rubber hose) is leaking, replace it. If you haven't replaced the PCV valve, do that before anything else. A gummed up PCV valve will cause pressure buildup in the engine and promote oil leaks.
