I'm sure I've seen this on a KR-2 somewhere along the line with a VW on the noisy end, but what might some of the downsides be to venting your crankcase breather to the intake intake? Probably before the carb unless you are sure there's no way for fuel to contaminate your oil.
Any oil mist would be burnt in the cylinder instead of the exhaust, and you wouldn't run the risk of gummed up parts causing a crankcase overpressure event, if anything, you'd always be pulling a slight vacuum in the case which may go some way to stopping an annoying leak.
I can't imagine you'd experience oil-fouled plugs unless you are venting a lot of oil, but then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to engines.
What's the brains trust opinion?
