Oil Catch Can

I am debating to get an oil catch can or not. Does anyone have any pictures of them installed? How would I run the lines? If you have pictures please please post of where you ran the lines, how it was mounted and so on.

I thought oil catch cans were only for turbo vehicles?

Im not sure, thats why I am asking. I saw that there is a breather on our cars near the valve cover and i get some excess oil there every once in a while

They are more important for turbo vehicles because the end result is oil coating the intercooler-->very bad! For our cars, the oily crap just lines the intake manifold.
