2006 Innova E D4-D, btw.

Seems install a catch can is the only solution.

Do you think install a catch can in the engine in warranty period will provide toyota an excuse to void the warranty?

If its toyota, they will viod your warranty for the most ridiculous reasons. They so big, one complaining customer will not put a dent in their sales.
