Default Can I mount catch tank behined wing?

I'm building a mk2 escort with a Cosworth engine in it. I'm trying to keep the engine bay tidy so want to mount the catch tank somewhere it cannot be seen. There is space for it between the the wing and side of bulkhead/inner wing. I have 2 pipes in top from engine and one it bottom back to dump then a large hole in bottom which I believe to be a breather for gasses to escape.

Any problems with me mounting it here? It won't catch the wheel, just I don't know if any oil comes out them greater hole which could go on the tyre.

Thanks

find yourself a genuine WRC breather - they mount directly onto the engine block

as above, will pedley does these type of breathers he has just done one for a mates escos and to look at it under the bonnet you would think it was factory but its got breathing capabilities for 600bhp plus!

They do look the part but a bit steep in price so considering a have a proalloy one already, I would prefer to use this one. I can't think of any issues if I mount in behined the inner wing???

I'd say it would be fine as long as you can get to it if need be, but if your running it back to sump you should be fine imo
