My BMS can is definitely catching oil. I don't empty mine until at least 3 months passes. I'll see if I can dig up some photos.

I put one on a Twin charge GTI Polo I was having oil consumption issues with. It was empty too every time I checked it (which was weekly). The oil just flowed straight through it back in to the intake & out through the exhaust, covering the back of the car with oil, dipstick dropped commensurately btw. I got a new motor in the car after 13.5k. I am surprised how small the BMS one is compared to others I have used.

I thought this wasn't working, as I was checking every 2 months with nothing but a thin film on the inside. So I left it for 7-8 months and rechecked. Glad I did... Seeing as there aren't many pics in this thread, thought I'd post my results. Sorry it's a bit bright, but needed some flash to show the extent of the "catch".
