I use to stuff some old rags between the inside of the belly pan and the engine/oil pan area. But I always made a mess. No matter how hard I tried I ended up with some oil insde the belly pan.

Now I have my routine down pat with my homemade "oil deflector". I made it from an old tetra box of IceTea(square box). I just jam my custom IceTea box up in the belly pan... and when the oil comes out it gets deflected down into my oil catch pan.
