I have the breather hose routed to the ground an no problem. I was going to get a filter to put on the end to catch it but I rarely see anything come out.

You can get 3/8ths rubber caps from your local auto parts stores.
That's what I used on my Super E.

Kinda blowing this out of proportion, we are talking a mist that isn't being allowed to collect in a small area. If a oil drip was that devastating the Shovel generation is wiped out or any vehicle on the road with it. lol

I seemed to have opened up a can of worms here. Anyway, thanks for all of the advice. I think I will find a catch filter and plug up the backing plate. Got some s.s. 3/8" fuel line layin around think that will work nicely.
