The catch tank cap vented on mine (Mocal 1 litre)
To be fair it shouldn't really vent that much to atmosphere
Are you using a small breather filter on the vent from the catch tank ? or just venting straight to atmosphere ?

Had my dry sump breather set up exactly like that for 14 years but the tank was in a position so that any fumes did not go into my path, they would
have passed down the tunnel. To be honest, with a healthy engine there should not be much in the way of fumes anyway, never was with mine.

im using a 1l mocal tank with one fitting blanked off and just a feed from the top of the dry sump tank
i wander if i run another pipe to atmosphere from the tank that i wil reduce the fumes as such.

Not sure if it'll help but this was my layout
As you'll know the cap on the Mocal catch tank acts as a breather and no issues to report on this set-up
(The one connection on top of the catch tank goes to the dry sump tank and the other to a machined fitting on the cam cover)
Never had any problems at all with it to be honest.
