Not sure. How long exactly has it been on & how much have you driven? Any pics of the installation?

There has to be an issue with the hook up for it to not have any oil after a month

Post a pic of how you have it installed.

I didn't have much oil in mine after a month or so (which is only about 1000 km/600 miles); by the time I got to the following oil change - about 6000 km/3600 miles - I had maybe a 1/2" or so. Some people report having lots more than that; guess it depends on how you drive (I think more time spend at WOT results in less oil? Gotta exercise the equipment, right?

)

Are you sure it is closed and not opened?

My Mighty Mouse has been on for several months and not a drop of oil in it.

How much are you turning the valve to open it? I had the same issue where I thought it wasn't catching anything, but I just wasn't opening the valve enough for it to come out.
