  I purchased and installed an oil/air separator from
  Lancair.  It was made by Andair but was missing the
  internal parts.  As you might guess it did not work
  very well without the internal parts.  However, thanks
  to Robert at Lancair and his correspondence with
  Andair I did receive the parts.
  
  When the separator was hooked up without the internal
  parts the return line went back into the case just
  above the oil filter on the back of the engine.
  Hooked up at this location I had oil venting all over
  the belly of the plane.  I do not know if it is the
  location that causes a problem or just the fact that
  the internal parts were missing from the separator.
  Consider that hooked up as it would be without an
  oil/air separator there is no oil venting overboard.
  
  My plane is currently down for an annual so I have not
  flown it with the system hooked up with all parts in
  place.
