Okay, that's the early one, with the hole in the side of the down tube, and no 
barbs on the side fitting.

There is a rubber tip that goes on the bottom of that tube, and it locks into 
the hole in the side. This will reduce some of what comes out there. The 
plastic scrubber will serve as an oil mist coalesser. The most important thing 
to get right is the baffle, which you should be able to find almost anywhere 
that services VWs unless you already have a gasket set. I have a number of 
these if you can't find one locally.

Finding the rubber tip will be harder, but a lot of the on-line places will 
have them. I know that West Coast Metric used to have them.

The side port needs to be run to an air cleaner so that gasses from the engine 
can be sucked in and burned rather than released.
