Default Saito -- Hooking the breather tube up to the intake manifold?

Hey guys, how many have tried running the Saito crankcase breather tube into the intake manifold? I know, a little oil on the belly of the plane isn't that big of a deal, buy hey, if there's no real penalty for recirculating the oil that would be even nicer.

I understand that the "used" oil and possible grit or contaminants doesn't sound like you'd want to have the engine ingest necessarily but OS has been doing it for a long time. Has anyone ever determined that an OS might have lasted longer if the used oil was just dumped in a constant loss system such as the Saitos?

Thanks for any input!
