'I don't like spreading this around as the "I am here to help you" guys don't need to know this, but there is an air/oil separator in Spruce for homebuilts that I have seen on a Ranger 24. It is about 5" in diameter, a couple inches thick has tabs that mount to the firewall and is mounted above the oil tank. It looks like it is well made. The breather aluminum line is not used and a hose from the crankcase breather fitting runs to the separator. The oil return line is teed into the oil return line from the scavenger port that goes into the top of the tank and the air line is another hose that runs around to the right of the mount/oil tank/etc and ends down where the cowl air outlet is. Basically the same area as the original breather line except it is on the other side of the center line.

The belly is no longer lubricated and oil usage has apparently been cut by 1 to 1.5 quarts per hour. Mounting is pretty simple, but if pictures are needed, I think he would let me snap a couple for distribution.
