T5.2 pro-vent install (alternate bracket position)

The drain just goes down and has a tap at the end. Its just clear tubing with a reticulation tap (an inline one like you use for garden systems) That is just rattling around in the space above the plastic cover at the bottom of the engine bay/front of wheelarch. The hose is long enough so i can poke it out one of the holes and drain it easily. Not sure if i'm going to leave it as is yet. Not sure how often i'll have to drain it. Guess it depends how much I drive and how much blowby my engine produces. Greg suggested every few thousand. Will update when I get some idea.

I guess that's a pretty easy solution, if you have the possibility to jack up the van at home at drain it every couple of months, at least it gives you a reason to check things under there every now and then!

In case you want to recirculate it like Greg did, would that mean you'd have to drill into sump and place a connection for the hose?

I can't remember how Greg was doing his sump fitting, gecko, but have a read through this thread in diesels. It's about 6 pages, if you've got the time. Some good info there

With one of these blocks into the stock pressure sender hole in the side of the oil filter housing. Allows you to run the stock pressure sender, an aftermarket pressure gauge ( or a blanking plug ), and a return for the Provent with the Provent one way valve.

Seems to be working a treat, and I don't miss the mess! I wouldn't suggest this for a car where you leave the oil 15k between servicing though, I'm timid enough leaving the condensed oil in the system for 7k or so when I swap the oil and filter between services.
