Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Oil breather tube size on 1998 12 valve and another way to catch oil drip in it?

Hi.
I've got a pill bottle on the breather hose mounted to the frame to catch breather oil but thought of buying new aquarium tubing and try something different.
My new idea is put a longer new hose and put the loose end into one of many holes in my frame. The oil could drip in there, give crankcase breathing and it would be out of sight and mind.
Anybody ever try this? There isn't very much oil anyway.

Just make sure you dont route the hose where it could potentially get kinked or even partially blocked. Also, any kind of "traps" where moisture could collect, and potentially freeze would be a bad deal. If the hose were ever to become restricted enough you could pressure the motor up and start blowing seals.
