Question Valve cover breathers

Wanted to find out what kind of valve cover breathers others are using. I have the automotive type, they drip oil after hard run...pair 525 SCs.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks for quick reply and pic.
Bought the boat used, came with about 8" x 12"
K & N's. I think it would help to rig them up like originals, may go that route.

Thats one of the pics that HotDuck sent me before I bought it. Its not quite that clean anymore..........but its close

kathycool, you can buy attachments for the K&N filters to connect breather hoses to the arrestor. I have them on another boat. I got mine from Summit Racing. They are only about $8 each. Mine for a 3" high filter were part # knn-85-1350.
