Catch Can Mounting?

Anyone who has a catch can, where did you mount it? I can't find any good places. My engine is consuming oil through the pcv like crazy, I can't get it to stop no matter how many or which PCV valves I try, so I've decided on putting a catch can in. Only problem, I can't find a place to put it because I still need my emissions equipment, and it takes up so much space. I'm thinking in the nose in front of the radiator, but that takes a very long hose and isn't as easy to access as in the engine bay.

Having it farther than closer to the engine bay is actually better since it has a better chance to collect in the can. You can maybe sneak a bracket on a cylinder head or rad support. Or relocate your overflow tank and place it there.
