well i kinda made my own oil restrictor with a ball valve inbetween my turbo and oil feed ...i put a gauge and brought it down to like 20-30 psi and its still leaking oil into my compressor houseing...and my oil feed is kinda...not as high as it probly should be but i cant see it making it fill up that bad in my houseing..what does an oil catch can do?

its not as long as i would like it to be but i dont think that could be causing it to leak past the seals that bad can it?
