Get rid of OCC?

[Omega]

I have read a few threads discussing how oil catch cans generally have vacuum leaks which can results in power loss. I currently run a add w1 oil catch can and can confirm that it does infact have a leak. Now I ask do the pros of the oil catch cans outweigh the cons? And if so are there any companies whose oil catch cans has the least chance of leaks? I was considering either switching to bms or not running a OCC at all, but any opinion is appreciated.

If it is sucking air why not just address the vacuum leak? Judging by what it catches, I'd recommend keeping it if all possible.

Agreed. I would find the source of the leak. If you prefer not having one, I get it, but if the issue is something like a hose clamp not tightened (hypothetically), it's a simple fix.
