It's not just the PCV valve, you also blow oil through the crankcase vent. You need that run through a catch tank as well.
PCV -> tank -> manifold
CCV -> tank -> intake
You need 2 catch tanks since they operate at different pressures.

just vent the front one to atmosphere, it does slowly drip over time but I just wipe it off about once a month, its a very slow drip.-Ry

These are the good ones, and they come with instructions.

On the street I go burn off no oil. At Summit Point, I burn off a quart per day (or 1/4 quart per session), and only around turn 9 which I might take 12 times in the course of one session. 12 drops != 1/4 quarts. I am talking about oil lost through the PCV here, not the CCV. I'd be looking for a catch can that can hold, at a minimum, 1/4 quart.
