My oil breather hose just dead ends in my cooling "well". What a decent, affordable (like $50 or less) breather box that I can just vent into the atmosphere of the engine bay, pulling off the oil and not throwing it into my engine?

sure, use a potato... rest of us would use a rubber port block off, or if you are really cheap, use a piece of rubber hose with a bolt in it, and a clamp.

If I can't find a suitable potato, I was going to put some kind of gasket (rubber?) inside the ports not used. Wouldn't a piece of rubber hose with a clamp be more expensive?
