Reply With QuoteI did that on my E32 750 for a test.
prototype PVC oil catcher for M70
Planning to Install Oil Catch Tank in E46
The crankcase vent valve of my E46 needs to replace because there is lot of oil in the intake manifold . Instead of replacing the vent valve, I am planning to install oil catch tank to avoid the coming of oil from the engine's breather going to intake manifold. More economical and may last forever.

yes, because it is like a big circle, the air will move to the other side but the oil will not move over to the other side.
But best is you have a can with inlet and outlet.
Here is a good example from Mustang S197 Mustang PCV Oil Separator Kit [DM-S197OS] - $55.95 : DAVAD Motorsports, Where Quality Meets Performance
