Default oil breather

For some reaso unknown to me the oil breather system on my cossie is conected in at the head but when i follow it down it is not conected at the bottom (block or sump )cant see a conection for it . either it aint been conected up properly last year after gasket fitment or it nrever was and was just bolted on for looks
thing is will this just make the oil piss out as i have been runing it like this for ages and it dont realy use tht much oil wierd. So where should the bottom pipe be attached anyhow

Should it go to the inlet pipe somewhere?

It might be a cheap mod.

At least I put my pipe into a catch tank on my last car when I took the breather off the inlet end.

Not sure I havent got it yet, looks like its got three from the pics ive seen.
Thanks for the link Dave, if mine only has three i was going to take one from the rocker, and one from the standard left hand breather.. Hang on what do i do with the other Didnt really want to mess with the right hand blanked side as i dont want to strip eveything away if poss..

have another look on the link, ive added another 2 penneth worth

as a matter of fact the RHS (under the turbo) block adaoptor is much easier to fit than removing the facotry breather system with the head still attached - i suppose i had it easy with it all in bits so took full advantsge of the fact and did as much as i could with it in that state.

Thanks for the tips Dave very useful, Does anyone know where i can buy a fitting kit with all the adaptors ect? I also need some blue hosing. BTW do you have to worry about the heat with the tubing near the manifold & turbo?
