(uhm) 1998 Millenia S sucking up oil through supercharger and on into the intake any ideas what it might be? I replaced all the gaskets including the head gaskets and new timing belt. Fired the car up started getting a lot of smoke come to find out the oil was flowing through the intake and mixing with the fuel to get the smoke.I was thinking maybe I didn't hook up the vacuum lines correctly or something in the supercharger.please guy's if anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated. Thanks!(smash)

sounds like it needs a catch can.

Like he said. A catch can will do you well.
You can make one for near $20. In line filter/seperaters for air compressors at home depot, by Husky are what Im using. They work great.

Very good point, I completely spaced on that. I replaced mine, and have yet to need to clean out one of my catch cans.

It comes off of the pvc hose. Most older cars came with them stock. Then manufacturers started puting bafles in the valve cover, so that did away with the catch can.
I like having one on a boosted car. You can find them from greddy or knockoff ones on ebay, they all do the same thing. Or like somebody said, just make your own. Real easy...or...
mmmm purdy...
