Yep. I can see the little clear tube a light brown colour with the car running. Really should check and see how much oil is in there. Stamford had a post a while back and it showed how much oil was in his catch tank - quite a bit in the bottom of a jam jar...

Hi yes very easy to fit.

The hole was already there from the old air filter i think.

All I had to the do was remove a small section of pipe and connect the new blue piepes to the two remaining ends (hope that makes sense).

Anyway easy mod....

Looks cool mate(i would say that I have the same one lol)
I think you need to swap the pipes over on the tank end though.
The top connector on the tank drops down to the gauze to keep the incoming oil separate from the outlet
