There is a guy on here that sells three different types. I bought the blue cotton breather. I think it cost about $50.

Do a search for oil breather.

You could buy a small breather/filter with a rubber nipple on it and just drill your OEM cap and install it in the hole..........

Keep in mind that installing a breather will cause the AFR to lean out if your using the Maf.
