lol. He means on the motor dude. Replaces the PCV system really. You need some type of sealed canister, preferably with a breather on the top. I would just go out and buy one. You can get cheap ones off of ebay. Moroso makes a good one too.

Here's mine! Seafoam baby!

The can is filled with steel wool to help filter the oil vapors too!
