The only thing I can think of is something is getting blocked/stuck and allowing the crankcase to pressurize. I've done the "orifice drill mod" that Tracy constantly recommends, but I've had the oil soak issue again anyway. I've got a Mike Norris catch can on order. I'll swap that in and see if anything changes.
Mmmm I have mine a year +, no noises, no soak breather cap... I might be lucky! But I'll be checking this since Im doing a oil change before Indy, I guess I'm coming back with a new catch can...
