Default oil catch can..........revisited

I know, I know the oil catch can threads are numerous, but I cant find the answer to the question in need.

I have a 99 vette LS1, as you know most if not all vettes have some oil usage/burning issues.

I have read many many posts on catch cans, and I was wondering if dual catch cans is the way to go for trying to eliminate/reduce the oil going back into the throttle body.

1 for the pcv line
and the other for the valve cover to throttle body line.

I've read that allot of return oil comes from the valve cover to throttle body line.
thanks , any input is appreciated.

because like i've read, some people are saying that allot of oil also comes in from the other line that goes from the valve cover to the front of the throttle body.
I just wanted to varify that to make sure. if it is true then i will go to 2 tanks

Here's what I found in my fresh air line:



Needless-to-say, I'm not worried at all, and using a glass catch can allows me to tell in a second how full the container is.
