Default Engine breathers?


Been studying this picture why not just vent the breathers to atmosphere instead of back to to air inlet surly any oil vapours will just be sucked back into air inlet?

Fit a catch can and vent to atmos. The original oil breather system will direct the vapours into the inlet.

I got a drawing of how to fit a catch can somewhere, i'll see if I can post it up

Not if there's an efficient separator in the "box". Under those circumstances the inlet will be getting clean (or near as dammit) air.

Why is the oil drain going back into the crankcase breather again?

Plumb it into a sump return or drain it regularly from the separator & put back in engine
