for those of you who have not installed the oil drain bottle on the end of the crank case vent line. How much do you expect to see drip on the pavement? Or do I see to search for other leaks?

My 94 did not have the bottle and in four years it never dripped on the driveway. Blew all over the underside of the truck but not on the driveway. Pete
 
My 99 with 70K has never left a drop on the driveway (or anywhere else I park). There is a residue on the steering cross-link which I just wipe off at oil changes. I know I have heard of some trucks leaving spots, but my experience is that it is non-existent.
 
Mine does not drip on the driveway either.

I always see a drip hanging on the end of the tube but have never seen it on the ground.

I have the canister but mine developed a valve cover leak at 3000 miles. The dealer replaced it and no more oil on the driveway.
