Good point on radiator! With the catch bottle that holds any blow by oil mounted to front of engine the atomized oil gets sucked around to the front of the radiator and can plug it off or at a minimum decrease cooling.
My 01 I bought last summer had the front of the radiator partly plugged and temps climbed easily even towing 7k.
The oil also gets everywhere! The front of the radiator was blasted with a garden hose while in the truck. So first pic would look much worse if I had not hit it with water before.
Catch bottle is mounted inside drivers side front fender.
