With only 16,000 miles on my truck, I couldn't believe the mess that the oil drip catch bottle had made on the front of my engine. It had caused dust and dirt to build up on my cooling fan and around the balancer. The dirt can cause pre-mature seal wear on the balancer. I bought a nylon 3/4 double male connector and some 3/4 braid re-inforced clear plastic hose. Made the hose length long enough to clear the bpttom of the engine. Chris
