The apparatus (20) includes a mounting flange, an opening (24) for the return of the liquids to the engine, and at least one layer of filtering material (21). In one embodiment, the filtering material (21) may be soaked with oil. Another embodiment has a screw (52) mounted in the housing, and positioned to retard the flow of emissions exiting from the housing.
