Default Fitting a Breather Kit

I have a breather kit to fit to my Saph Cos and was wondering exactly how it is fitted. The tank has 3 ports. 2 are on the right hand side, 1 top and 1 at the bottom. The other port is on the left hand side at the bottom. I have drilled the cam cover and fitted a pipe. It's obvious that the the original breather connects to one of the ports on the right hand side and then the new pipe from the cam cover also fits to the right hand side also. However, what do I do with the left hand side? Does it simply drain to atmosphere or does it go elsewhere? I was told the tank came off an Escort Cossie.

One of them should be your oil return to sump/block m8

The only one I've ever used is the baileys one,it's got 2 ports on the top which is where your breather pipes go too,original breather and rocker cover breather.
Then 2 ports on the bottom,a small one which is the oil return,and a big one which you just leave to vent to atmosphere.
With the baileys fitting kit you get all the pipe work you need,including the adaptor for the side of block under exhaust manifold where the oil returns too out of breather tank.
I think by your description you have only got one part of a breather system,sounds like you've only got the oil/air separator
Pretty sure Spec-R and GGR use a separate oil/air separator then a tank on the inner wing.
If you leave that pipe to atmosphere I'm pretty sure you will have oil all over the place!!!!
Get a pic up of it m8,will be able to tell for sure then

top pipe goes to the original breather(under inlet manifold) thin oulet @ the bottom is the return to sump(drivers side just under the turbo area) other pipe @ the bottom is to atmosphere. I would say that you DON'T need to use the cam cover so that will NEED a bit of pipe and a bung in it NOW or change the cover OR change the breather to one that has 2 ports @ the top and 2 @ the bottom

I think I would sooner change the breather to be honest. Oh well
