The line that is laying between the Thermostat housing and your Rocker Cover and leads back to the Carb, the breather canister will be at the other end. Check that the hose is not clogged as well. Easy to check, pull the hose off the carb and run the motor.......... see if how much air is being pumped out the hose. You could always cap the carb port off with a vacuum cap and place the hose end into a plastic water bottle to see how much oil is being pumped out of the sump through the breather line............ this can sometimes be a good indication of ring condition.
