If you don't return to sump do you just vent it to the atmosphere?

They do have an outlet, usually fitted with a small filter. This filter vents the gasses to the atmosphere while the can catches any residue.

A quick search on ebay, something like this....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0-5L-OIL-B...item45fa949557

This is a 2 port can. One port for the crank case and the other for the two rocker breathers. Just need to tee the two rockers together.
