Default Need Help Quick: Oil-Return

Hopefully some of the FI folks can give me some advice. I actually need to tap an oil-return line from my catch can but I figured some of the FI folks would have good advice.

So where are people plumbing oil-return lines on C5s? Best method for doing it w/o getting metal shavings in the motor?

TIA

Some guys run them back into their oil filler cap, I ve even seen one for the diptsick tube, but can't remember what vendor.

Well, since I'll only have gravity to force the oil back I need somthing down low (the bottom of the catch-can is about level w/ the exhaust ports).

I'll try and find something on that dipstick return...
