Catch can
I have an elite engineering catch can. I recently
removed the lower portion to drain the oil and found the filter part with the steel wool setting in the bottom of the can. Is my can now defective and needs to be replaced I have screwed it back in but just 3 days later it was out again. Does anyone know what's going on with it.?

It should be in the top chamber of the can. I have an Evil Energy Catch can I installed last winter and that is where the steel wool placement should be. Is your top chamber broken or missing on the inside? Did you install this catch can yourself or did you purchase the car from someone with it already installed?

Same happened to me with my Elite can; just tightened up again by hand holding a rag/paper towel. Could maybe try Teflon tape on the threads.

Tighten what? The can that holds the oil or the upper chamber that is supposed to hold the steel wool? The OP is stating that his steel wool has fallen into the bottom of the "oil can".

I see that... Is this a common issue with Elite Engineering catch cans?
