Oil catch tanks are for 'catching' oil vapours from the engine breather air.
failure to do so will just make an oily mess, not terminal.

but it would be very nice to keep the engine bay nice and clean.

Where is this engine breather air in a stock SLK?

 

[ninja_iga]

the hose is from the engine block,

located (if you're in front of the car and looking at the engine) at the top left of the engine. If you're using stock airfilter, it should be attached to the airfilter container.. the hose's about 1/2" in diameter.

opening the airfilter cover, you'd see oil stains on the top left (about 10-11 o'clock position since it's a circle) and there's where the oil vapours collect.

i DIY and made my OCT and that kept my engine bay relatively clean after that. No more oily mess except if i fucked up while changing engine oil..

cheers!

ninja bro....is there any oil that been trapped inside the OCT???...b'coz what..last time i'm also tapped OCT on that side.....but there nothing...la....until i found out what is PCV valve.... :D ...i've done experimental on that hose.....it only splash a small amount of engine oil when u rev....at idling and constant rev...it will suck a small amount of air to the engine rocker cover(engine breather)...just have tested on it....cover the hose with plastic bag...make sure it no leaking....start the engine and c what happen to the plastic bag.....it suck the plastic bag la(venturi effect)...not blow away air...only when u rev abit...the plastic bag will 'kembang' a bit onli.....just have a test on it.....dis'just my 2 cent..bro.... ;)

try to look on the head cover...there were small hoses isn't???connect to the carb/intake....just try to pull out the hose at the end of it(on head cover side)..leaving the other end hose connect to carb/intake.....then start the engine......put your finger at the end of the hose.....wat happen???can feel isn't.....???the carb/intake creates a vakum pressures isn't???the hose is PCV....every car have this PCV...it was the regulation for the manufacturer....something about enviromental issues........for kancil the different is doesn't have a one way valve la....maybe in the carb......whose know.. ;)

Sifus,
