See? It works in monkeys!
Nah, that was it. I think I worded it poorly... It's just the licence plate location. The clips for the centre licence plate are still there I believe. I didn't look when I plugged my truck in tonight...

It looks to be moved forward in the same area. Enlarge the picture.

The way I understand it the water causes the stumble/misfire and the oil can cause other issues.
I still think that I can drill a hole, TIG weld in a bushing and install a 1/4" pipe plug then every few months drain it. On my '13 you just turn some plastic latches and remove the rubber to get to the bottom of it. A lot less work than installing a catch can, cheaper and less for Ford to complain about if warranty issues arise.

With the weep hole being so small I only see the water draining out not the oil/water or "snot" as you called it.

Thanks.
I still wonder if Ford is putting in a larger CAC, or just removing the shield. And either way how do they handle the condensation issue on the '15's?

Wonder if the electric BOV down there helps.

Quite simply piping it to return to the engine from the bottom should solve most of the condensation issue. It's really not a condensation issue, but a puddling issue.

Some of the CACs have an internal baffle added I do believe. Think it was in 2013
