I have seen some people use a little filter instead of venting the passenger side to the intake tube. Is this ok?

I would add acatch can first. I just added the breather to get more air in there. My breather has not leaked at all. has a rubber o-ring for a great seal. metcomotorsports.com and the part # is mbr0003 $46.99

It won't really make a difference as the passenger side is actually the fresh air return to the crankcase, not suction to the intake

So the line from the intake tube to the passenger head is pulling air in ? if I have a breather on the passenger side can I cap this off?

I'd leave the breather on there or you may get excess vacuum from the PCV side

You can do that if you'd like to, just keep an eye on the breather, I've known those things to get a little messy in the past...
