That's why there are oil catch cans available for these cars, if you choose to go that route.

Ordered the zz performance oil can kit, got the easy part on..
Oil catch cans are fairly basic.. hold probably a pint, has straight thread O-ring fittings boxes that are bigger than -6 and smaller than -8.
Got road trip tomorrow to pick up stuff that's been on wish list for my square body.

Well that was eventful 350 miles... Get about 100 miles from home getting on the freeway, threw 0299(underboost) misfire #3, U0100-71 loss of comms with ECM, service stabilitrac and traction control. Got random flashing check engine light (probably related to misfire)
Under 3000rpm it misses, above runs smooth. Swapped plugs #1/#3, code stayed stuck on #3.
Not quite sure what to make of this color of oil in the catch can.. see what it looks like tomorrow after all the air is out
Part of me says coolant mix but usually that's more white than creamy/carmel color
