Abstract: A downwardly opening compartment is disposed within a crank case. An upwardly disposed hole places the compartment in fluid communication with the environment. As blowby mist in the crank case travels upward through the compartment, the mist tends to separate into oil and air. The oil tends to drain back down into the crank case, and the air tends to continue upward and through the hole.
