I put the UPR catch can on my car about a week ago and thought I'd check it tonight to see how much blowby was in there if any. It was completely full of motor oil. Checked the oil level and it's over a quart low. The car is running perfect. I have no idea what could be causing this. Any ideas ?

I run a breather on both sides and I am getting a fair amount of blow by from the passenger side filter? I have though about putting the stock setup back on with a catch can for the driver side.
I don't think it has anything to do with the catch can really. I had to add a quart of oil before my last oil change. I do have different valve covers that I got on ebay that have a different bolt hole pattern. They still bolted right up with no leaks, but now I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. I've had them on for at least 4000 miles. I might put the original ones back on soon. I just wonder how long this has been going on. I know it can't be good.
Also it's been very hot here that last few days and I have noticed my mileage has dropped from 18mpg to 14.

Do they have the oil baffles on the underside of the cover?

+1
And if they do have the baffles the next step is a leakdown test. Everyone wants to figure out a different way of finding out what is going wrong when leakdown test is mentioned because in most cases they have to buy a tester and then spend the time doing it. But at the end of the day there is no other test (not even a compression test) that will tell you exactly what it is that you need to know. And that is if you are getting blow-by and pushig oil. The good side is if you do a leakdown test and it specs out good you don't have any serious issues and you can be 100% sure of it.

I have the same UPR can. I get a tablespoon or two every week with a couple hundred miles a week. Did you get any smoke when the catch can was not on?
