Where to install an oil catch can in a 1.6 4cyl ?

I found how to install in a v6 mx3...

Can someone post a photo where is the PCV Valve?
Where is the "connection to inlet manifold" ?

In a 1.6 16v 4cyl DOHC...

PCV valve is on the valve cover. it as a little hose coming out of it.

i don't know, but out of curiosity, why are you installing one?

p.s. that is the pcv valve that you have circled.

-maintaining the correct octane rating of your fuel without being degraded by engine oil
(which doesn’t burn cleanly)

- keeping the intake manifold, valve tops and cylinders clean.

I just use a fuel filter. It's from Mr.Gasket. It's a universla fuel filter. I just cut a peice of the rubber and stick it in there. Seems to catch a lot of oil.
