Need help with Oil catch can install

Does anyone have any photos of an oil catch can installed in a Countryman SAll4? I've been holding off with purchasing one as I simply cant imagine where I would shove that thing in what limited space I have left in the engine bay....

Please and Thank you!

Ok people, I'm very new into this, so bear with me.

I have the countryman all4, 1.5 and only had it 5 days. I've been reading some of this oil catch can.
Does it effect my engine ?
What is it for and why ?

I use to own an old Dodge cummins and they needed a catch can for oil vapor blow by from the valve cover, and it stops oil drips to the ground. I should think it is not the case for this newer engine, or am I thinking in the clouds ?

Not needed on your engine.

Not totally necessary on a stock engine. I put one on just in case since I'm pushing 21 PSI now. I still don't see really any oil in the can, but for my setup I rather be safe.
