Default crankcase ventilation

In all my 220K+ miles I have never looked at the crankcase ventilation system on my car. But for the fact a member is selling a oil catch can here I would never known I had such a system.

As a firm believer in the addage ..if its not broke don't fix it

Is there a simple way of checking this system, as it appears you have to dismantle half the engine to get at the components - altenator, power steering, inlet manifold.

I have read else where about checking to see if theres a vacuum at the dip stick and oil filler cap, and when there is a problem oil appears to be sprayed all over the engine bay, which I don't have, nor do I have any crud in the filler cap. Engine has been feed fully synth since birth @ 10K intervals.



Cheers

Bob
