I am planning to install an oil-catch tank on my CA18DET. Problem is the tank has only 2 inlets, and so can i connect the breather hoses from both cam-covers via a T-joint to one of the inlet, and let the other inlet vents to atmosphere ?

Also, after installing the tank, must i seal off the hole at the intake-plenum which is originally connected to the cam-cover breather ?

I know how all this works, kinda, but it would be a huge help for me, and probably anyone else that knows about catch cans, if you posted pics.  A CA enigine is a rare engine for most 240 owners... and I don't know what you are talking about.  Pics please.

the car in the pic. is not mine, i grab it from the net.

i intend to connect breather 1 & 2 via the T-joint and pluck it into an oil-catch can. By doing that, the hole at the back of the intake-plenum will be left open, so my question here is whether i should just seal it off ?
