Crank case venting?

[LN323]

Okay.... my mind is getting old, but.... I can't remember if the B6T (in the original, stock design) was arranged such that the crank case was somehow vented in case there was a build-up of pressure? Or, did I at one time add a way to vent the crank case? If not (and I don't think I did, but), where and/or how would you guys recommend venting the crank case? When I originally put an oil catch can on, didn't that relieve the pressure and catch any oil from escaping? Does that alone do the trick? Help this old tired man out. :D

PCV valve to the intake manifold. But a valvecover hose to a catchcan is better.

Thanks jay! That was how I set it up last time. Forgot. I removed it a few years back since it didn't seem to be catching any oil, but I think for safety reasons, I'll rig up something again. Ah.... another project.... my wife is going to kill me. :D

When I had boost on my festiva, I just vented the PCV to the atmosphere lol it worked for me

Speaking of PCV, I think I might change mine since my GTX has 146k miles on it. I am guessing it will help on this car?
