Hi everyone, I went for a spirited drive last night and came back with a huge oily mess all over the engine. I have dual carbs and no crankcase breather as I wasn’t aware the need of one, what do you all recommend? I have a 1.7 block and heads that are now a 2056 and would like to put one in that is as simple as possible. Hoping something that just connects to the oil fill tower. Thanks!

Here's how I have mine set up as @wonkipop mentioned. It is basically the same air box used on a carbed euro 1.8 but with custom intakes to mate to the 40IDF carbs. I had to move venting inlets slightly for clearance with the raintray, but kept them close to the factory positions. The crankcase vent dumps in above the filter but doesn't seem to carry enough oil to gunk it up. Hasn't been a problem after 3,500 miles anyway. The factory dumped the oil breather vent into the right intake downstream of the carb so I did the same but put the inlet just on the airbox side (but well downstream of the filter). I get a bit of oil film just downstream of that hose inside the intake, but have yet to see anything build up on the carbs. Seems to be working well.
