OKay I made one a catch can out of those air compressor filters by campbell. You know the lil plasitc canister with the two threaded ports on each side to screw the hose barbs into. Well the filter has an arrow on the top to show in what direction it flows. Basically I got flow of direction going from the valve cover 90 degree barb to the intake tube barb. My car is N/A...so is this set up correct. Or should the flow of direction be from the intake tube to the valve cover, meaning I need to turn the filter so the arrow points in that direction?

Thanks for any help...btw I noticed a decent amount of oil in the old hose and around both barbs..valve cover and intake tube.
