I've seen photos of the CAC and location to drill the hole, but now...looking for the best spot to drill, I can't find the photos anywhere!
Can anyone tell me where to find the pictures or post them? It would be most appreciated, I'm coming up with bupkiss in my fruitless searching...............

Mine drips a oily mix onto the lower air deflector. About a 1 ft line accross the bottom below the hole. I just clean it weekly, when I wash my truck.

I drilled mine in the lowest most spot in the elbow on the driver's side. I had to loosen the lower air deflector and move it back a little to be able to get the drill to fit in there.

Just look on the right-hand side of CAC, close to exit outlet, drill at lowest point. It's been over a year since I drilled the hole, not one issue since.

I drilled the weep hole a couple days ago and had about 2 oz of oil and touch of water come out. Its was dripping pretty good and I would step on the throttle and it would blow out a bunch more. The only thing is that my truck would whistle under WOT from the hole and yes I drilled the right size hole, its not to big, annoyed me when my window was down. So I out a very small screw in it and I take the screw out about twice a week and let it drain and take a drive to blow it out. Works good though, no more hesitation!

That does work well for the ones who wants it that way. Think of 3,000,000 on the road occasionally dripping some out and it becomes a national mess over 20 years.

Meh, I could care less. Think of all the other trucks leaking oil, coolant, etc all over the roads. My few drips are literally a drop in the bucket compared to them.

Has anyone done a detailed writeup? I've seen 1 Youtube video from above which doesn't show where the hole is drilled.
