Problem after installing open air filter
Hello,
Yesterday i installed an Green Open Air Filter and a breather on the rockercover.
The problem is that the oil breather spits out little drops of oil.
What can i do to stop that? Just put a longer tube on it? Or mount a little tank to catch the oil?
Here's a pic from the filter setup:

catch tank would do the job the best. A longer pipe also works

put a pipe which aims into the filter then just clean the filter every now and then,
it normally goes back into the engine anyway,

Shouldnt there be a pipe coming from the left? Going onto the hol on the rocker cover then the breather filter goes on that?

Guys, i've put on a longer hose, but it still spits a bit of oil. I think i'm going to buy me an catch tank 
Blacktop VTR's don't have the "extra" hose indeed.
Thanks for the reactions!

air filter
I don't presently have an air filter on my saxo. Can anyone tell me the difference between the green and blue one's i've seen. Is it dangerous to drive in the meantime without one?

dont know about the difference between green and blue. but wouldn't drive without any kind of filter on, the amount of shit off the roads getting sucked into the carb/head, before you know it you will be spitting parts of your pistons out of the exhaust
