Message	I'm a bit unfamiliar with the greddy setup, but I would imagine that there is a drain on the bottom of it somewhere, no? Also, where does the outlet of the catch can go to? I'm planning on doing my setup to put the catch can near the battery. For the train, I want to put a barbed fitting on the can with a hose going straight down (but away from the exhaust) with a shutoff valve right there for easy draining during oil changes.
