Default Time for an oil catch can

I noticed oil in the lines to my surge valves, and the car had been smoking some-I have a 90 deg adapter off the intake, and I use an LS 6 valley cover.
I ran a line from the valley cover to a fitting on the 90 deg adapter-right near the fitting I have fittings for the map sensor, and for the surge valves.
I guess its sucking oil into the adapter-how are you guys running catch cans
Can I come off the valley cover to a catch can, then the catch can to the intake, or should I use a valve cover instead of the valley cover

PM MightyMouse. Most of the members here buy his catch can. I have one. Great quality and a great guy to deal with. Lots of different options. Plus there is a diagram on the link too.

The valley cover is not a great place to vent the engine in my experience.
I just use the stock VC vents. I am only running 8 lbs of boost though.
