I tried a mod on the crank case breather valve, remove the valve housing from the engine case, place a portion of a copper pot scrubber pad into the top of the housing, not enough to block it off .

Then re-install the housing .

Seems that a lot of the oil comes out in an atomized state, the pad gives it something to collect on, then drain back into the sump .
