Oil breathers

I have just installed a air induction kit on my lupo and there are 3 pipes left uncapped. I think they are called oil breathers and have very little use but to reduce pollution.

Is there anyway of capping them because I've heard oil vapour comes out of them aswell as carbon monoxide?

Also I've heard a catch tank can be used and filters to reduce pollution. Any ideas???

I don't think capping them off would be a good idea. If your engine can't breath out of the pipes it will breath out of somewhere else, probably your cylinders increasing emissions. Could mean an mot failure. I'd go with the catch tank idea. I wouldn't leave them just hanging loose either cause if any oil leaks onto a hot engine it could cause a fire.
