Re: ....

Where do you put the return from the catch can ? Back into the sump ? Yes. Unless you like emptying it yourself. I wouldnt recommend this at all. Echo the above comments on just emptying it every once in a while. If its filling too often there are obviously bigger issues. My last catch can had an ...

Everytime I've seen bubbles in the radiator its been a blown headgasket/cracked head. If you can swing a hammer and can take the head off yourself you can basically do the job for the cost of a gasket before doing any further damage as you say.
