Did you mean sump breather (i don't think there is one of those) into
the crankcase breather.
There is just the one crankcase breather (this is just above the sump)
on the Zetec-R and Zetec-E
The Zetec breather system has a connection from the crankcase (on the
front of the block) via a one way valve into the inlet manifold that
maintains a slight vacuum inside the crankcase.
There are oil drain passages in the block from the crankcase to the head
so the crankcase and rocker cover are directly connected effectively.
The rocker cover has a vent pipe that goes off to the air filter, the
engine will normally have a slight vacuum inside the crankcase and will
be sucking a small amount of air in via this pipe.
If you remove the connection into the inlet manifold like a lot of
people do then you will have some pressure in the crankcase (from
combustion fumes getting past the rings) instead of a small vacuum.
This will tend to blow out some oil along with the crankcase fumes and
need a catch tank as been mentioned.
With the standard system this oil just gets sucked into the engine and
burnt.

Anyone see issues if I was to connect the sump breather into the
