Default Ye olde oil vent bottle

Just purchased a Dodge 2000 cummins 24 valve and am trying to get the oil drips stopped. Looks like this is a very common problem originating in the vent tube/bottle. Can anybody point me in the right direction to solve this problem once and for all?

Thanks for your help!

Extend the 3/4" line down (dont use heater hose) and put the bottle back on or leave it off. Pretty simple. You radiator is probably full of oil and gunk that may hause overheating problems. Degrease it and spray with garden hose (from front to back) to clean it up.

I just threw the bottle out and stuck a piece of, I think 3/4 inch black PVC pipe up into the the factory rubber downtube and ran it just lower then the axle. The black color blends in better then white.
