Nearly 10 years and 70k miles later (car now has ~108k miles total) I am doing it again because I am replacing the HPFP.. I'll take some pics and post up soon. I do have an oil catch can. I last emptied it about 2 years ago, but I don't drive as much any more - about 5k a year. Just emptied it and it had about 30mL of oil. So about 10-15 mL per 5000 miles. 15mL is a about a tablespoon.
I had my HPFP replaced by warranty in first 5k back in 09, almost exactly 100k later, the replacement went bad. From what I have read, it's like right on schedule. Ha ha. They seem to last 100k miles.
