Good point, Dave.

I failed to state that I have an air/oil separator which returns the oil to
the sump but dumps the combustion byproduct gases overboard.

I was under the hood of my Mom's Ford today.  I took notice that the vent was plumbed back to the intake after the throttle.  I'd never have thought about it except for this thread.

Why wouldn't you plumb it back to the intake since it is a low pressure area (post throttle), and it'll never make a mess there since it'll get pulled back in and burned?
