this has always been up for discussion - weather you need to fit a breather to the top of the cam cover or. ive had cosworths with both set ups and both worked perfectly well.

Mine breathes from both sides of the block, under the turbo and kidney box and returns to sump below oil level. Mine is a small turbo cam cover so not easy to breathe from the cam cover.
