Guys... how is your "IC - to - intake manifold" pipe ? Do you have oil in it ?

I haven´t any, which is not normal. I should have the oil coming from crankcase blow-by.

Hi,
On Fleabay there are aftermarket cats, which are "mini sized" and should work, I guess.
Thinking about buying one, but no longer use the Audi everyday.
