Default oil everywhere

ok so, when i really beat on my car a little....or alot.....oil spits out my little breather filter on the drivers side.....the filter is saturated and 1 time, oil was all over the turbo and valve cover and hood..the car was smoking so bad i thought it was on fire[&:]

so, i was looking into making an oil catch can...but noticed that it mounts between the pcv valve on the passenger side and the throttle body...

so, my question is:
can i just block off the valve that the breather is on??? or will that hurt it at all????

i would assume if the oil shoots out like it does from the little breather, then it also goes through the pcv valve....so i know i should put a catch can in there...but im just lost with the breather[:@]

Leave it on or get the tube that connects to the air intake tube and install the catch can.

It's a good idea to have one.

Just to be safe you might want to check your oil sending unit, mine was leaking where the oil line went out to the turbo.It made a lot of smoke!!. Oil catch can is a good idea also.
