I was going to use RTV to make sure it was all sealed but i ended up using steel epoxy instead, works much better and dries faster. Dont think Im going to seal the cap, use that to pour out whatever it collects but it should seal on its own anyways...

yeah im going to try and find a spot far away from the heat, maybe near the windshield washer tank, to keep it from melting away to nothing.
i should paint it, but its going to look so awesome along with the DIY fuel rail and other random ghetto bits i have

The moisture filter won't work very well, been there. It will still allow too much oil to pass through to the intake.
The 1 1/4" PVC pipe method is compact and very effective if you insert some kind of heat resistant media inside to catch the oil mist. I installed a fuel filter between the catch can and intake to see how effective things are, and the water separator didn't work, but the DIY can I made worked very well.
