Its quite easy. Make up a bottle (plastic or metal) with 2 pipes one connected to the top and one to the bottom. This should be about 1 liter in size. Then take the pipe that runs from the back of the tappet cover to the intake hose and connect the tappet cover to the bottom inlet to the bottle. Take a new hose from the top of the bottle to the intake pipe. Mount in a suitabe place. This is the simple option and will need emptying every now and then. It can be improved by filling with loose mesh ie brillo pad so it catches mor oil but the best improvement would be to fit a drain back into the dipstick tube making it maint free.
You only need a catch can if you have an oil consumption problem otherwise its just for show

yes my intake pipe is very greasey all covered by dirty black oil. and some oil is commming out from where the butterfly is. I did read some articals on this forum so think may be i shold fit a catch can. thanks you so much geeves, I wil try to fit it when I got some time. I appreciate your kindness. By the way do u know how the vacuume hose setup please? My MU is 91 4 JB1 5 spd manual. on the right hand side there is a leaking vacuum sound, had this problem before, went to the shop, the guy said just a block valve. I forgot which on it is .
many thanks geeves

vacuum is created by the pump on the back of the alternator and is fed to the brake booster and acros to the feft side of the engine where it feeds the fuel pump and controller for the egr. Any loss of vacuum will cause brake problems. Are you sure its not a pressure noise maybe from leaky waste gate or something. Quite often the easiest way to find these things is with a long screwdriver held against the suspect part and your ear. Be very careful with this method If the screwdriver touches the fan or fanbelt it will go through the radiator or your ear

wooo! thank you so much geeves, may be you are right! after I switched off the engine, I could hear a vacuum leaking sound while I sitting in the car and few secondes latter that sound dispared and first step step on the brake pedal is very tight. which means there is no vacuum in the brake booster. I m sure there is a vacuum leak I wil trace it out using your methode thanks again:)
