IIRC that has nothing to do with oil separation. It's an anti overpressure
device similar to what Ford pickups have (at least the older diesel ones.)
I can't remember exactly how it works but something to do with more
pressure in the intake than the crankcase or vise versa.
Re-ringing on wear limit cylinders does tend to at least use oil. I never
had any problem with bad blowby until I tried filing down first over rings
to fit the worn cylinder. ;-) Didn't quite match the shape I guess.
