Randy, I've used Spruce's unit for ten years on my LNC2 and it seems to work
just fine on my O-235. I do not return the gunk that it collects to the
crankcase but have attached a small (~8 oz.) poly bottle to the oil return
line for that purpose. It collects about 3 - 4 ounces of condensate in a
year and is emptied at each condition check. From the looks of that stuff, I
wouldn't want it back in the engine. The vent is routed to the bottom of the
cowling via a plastic tube.

The can is mounted to the firewall and I've installed a small (1/2 in. ID)
hose from the rear baffle to blow a bit of cooling air on it with the
intention of increasing the vapor condensation on the internal walls.

I think it's working as required - but that's just one person's opinion.
