Yeah man they hooked up the hoses wrong. Also why you was getting smoke from the breather like you posted in the other thread! I know it's your place of work, but have them clean up the bay. Also seafoam or remove the IM and have it cleaned also. because it's all a oily mess now.

Normal to take that out with a breather but should be capped on both ends. Check intake tube and make sure it is capped.

May I also add you might want to do an oil change? Just cause you are not sure how much oil you lost and you don't want to add a wrong amount and make matters worse.

Sorry I am late to the help. But the others have told you the right stuff. Hoses were backwards, see my install photo. Your dealer should be doing the entire clean-up for botching the install job. If they don't know what they are doing maybe they should ask. For sure I would not go to that dealer again for installs. If you need to clean it your self, engine cleaning foam and high PSI spray will work. I would cover the elctronic boxes first thou. Also be sure to cap those ends at both the intake side and back of driver side valve cover. See my attached photos. good luck.
