What's happening is that the output shaft seal is leaking hot compressed air into the housing, which causes the oil to plash upwards. The only real solution I've seen to this was to plug BOTH sides, since it is a self-contained unit.

Edit: Rusty's idea sounds pretty good imo.
Isn't plugging both holes risking seal blowout even with the upgraded seals?
I'd love to do that but am too worried that the little breather really needs to breathe. I would have thought it's designed that way for a reason.
