mini cone filters for VTA diverter valves?

Once upon a time someone posted some DIY pics of their VTA diverter valves, and they had attached some blue mini-cone-filters to the end of the hoses to keep them from dripping oil. I can't find that post now. I'd love to know what size filter they used and where to get some. Has anyone else done this or remember the details on that?

Can't help with specifics, but the 'mini cone filters' you're referring to are usually called oil breather filters.

Okay, I think I found the right thing. 25mm inlet diameter air filter.

Supposedly these can just attach right onto the DV outlets. That should do the trick! Available in a few colors.
