Default Custom PCV and catchcan

How do you guys run your pcv with a catch can? im about to start doing mine and I was wanting some insight and pictures. So I just drill a hole in my intake and run it there? I did a search but I couldn't find much, so sorry if this is a repost.

The passenger side valve cover is just tee'd to the intake under the carb and on the driver side I have a DS VC off of a 2007 ly6 that has a 3/8 barb vent and it's ran to the intake runner with the pipe thread hole. I run all 3 of the carbed LS cars I tune like this.

I have the stock covers with the 3/8" tubes and just ran the both to an oil/air separator I mounted on the firewall.

are you using a pcv valve on the rear of the driver cover? and on the passenger side, did you plug the front port and use the back one?

I had an oil pressure issue first track outing (pushed dipstick out and sprayed oil on motor and under tires....not fun on shut down and track guys weren't happy either)
I added a 1" brass hose barb and a breather to the fill cap
I ran a 3/8" line off rear driver side and another from front pass side to an oil/air separator with a filter on the top (and NO vacuum line to the intake) to just let it breath.... no more issue.
