I once had a KR2 with the VW engine that had the same problem. After much experimentation I finally fabricated a baby bottle filled with plastic mesh (the stuff used to scrub dishes in the kitchen sink) The mesh was for the oil to condense on vs just blowing out the vent hole. I ran the vent tube into the top of the bottle(made a fitting) drilled a small vent hole on the top also.On the bottom of the bottle I attached a quick drain(drilled a hole and just threaded it into the plastic) Make sure the drain is on the backside of the bottle where most of the oil collects. I then fastened this drain bottle to the bottom of the firewall with a bracket. Each time I went flying (or after) I checked the bottle and drained off any collected oil.It worked perfectly for the three years I had the plane ! No more oil on the belly.
