Default oil catch can set-up correct?

Hi, I have a L92 418 ci motor NA with catch can setup ( see pics). Is it attached correctly? itdoesn't seem to be pulling any oil, I added larger tubing for provide more flow, I can see light vapor in the line (like humidity) but that's it, I also have a crankcase breather,lot of oil vapor pumping out of that! I read ckpitt55 's post on catch can setup also. Any help or advice please. Thanks in advance.

Post #70 is a diagrm showing how to route it. You will continue to leak oil out of an open breather no matter what. I would switch to an RX performance breather, it's a flow controlling check valve that won't allow oil to escape. That would take the place of the TB tube (green line) and become your fresh air.

Yeah, I don't like that setup. You're just running a breather on both valve covers essentially. Your catch can isn't doing much there.

Would this setup eliminate the oil fumes that overwhelming fill the interior at times? Thsts a bigger problem at times. Thank you
