Assuming you aren't being sarcastic 
Blow by=Gases past the piston rings, pressurising the crankcase forcing oil vapour fumes etc out, i.e. up the breather pipes.
Something is definently wrong there, my breather pipes just lying on my gearbox and no liquid ever comes out of it, just the occasionally spit of crap.
Ive done about 1k miles, with pretty much no fluid coming out the breather.

I have a big bag of parts behind me including head gasket, head bolts, camshaft oil seals, valve stem oil seals etc...
Looks like they will be getting some use soon

10mm outlets should do, but if they are screw in taps you can always buy different OD connectors

Yeh, even driving at 110mph and cornering hard it shouldn't be surging that much. I remember back when the engine was standard. After a hard corner i'd see loads of white smoke behind me. Think loads of oil was getting thrown into the inlet

How easy is it to fit an oil catch tank then? I'd use a Red Bull can or something like some of you guys have suggested.

On the right of your rocker cover there is 2. Use the one that goes down to the induction hose before the throttle body.
