Default greddy catch can leak !!

I poped up my hood last night and found greddy catch can was leaking from the blastick L shape fiting.

My question is what's my options to fix the leaking points ?

1 replace them with bolts and close the catch can sycle ? Would that effect the flow ?

2 replace them with hard pipes and weld them to the catch can, detch the bastick !

Thanks

Teflon tape may work. Is it leaking out of the threads?

Ok now I see what you mean. I would replace them with bolts. Then just drain the bottom one from time to time. The function of that part is just so you can see the oil level inside the catch can so it will not affect your flow. How often do you have to drain yours? Mine seems to collect very little if any oil. I'd say no more than an ounce every 10,000 miles.
