You have to do something with it, or it'll find a way out. If
you plut the vent tube, it'll come out of the dipstick hole, if
you plug that, it'll come out of the timing chain cover or
the tappet chest, etc.
(ah, nothing makes me smile more than a DCO frantically
removing pollution equipment without stopping to think. The
naive beleif that all pollution equipment is bad, and the
key to a fine car is simply to unbolt it and chuck it
in the bin. No wonder the US government needs such strict
pollution laws!)
