I think its called crankcase pressure.
And the puney little pcv valve doesnt help
Maybe a big pipe into a catch tank.

will putting a reducer in there with a bigger valve on it make it any better?

My old motor used to leak from just about every part of the motor. It even used to blow oil threw the breather hose into the air box which then would leak out the cold air hole I cut in it, then running into the chassis rail and leaking back out the chassis drain hole half way down the car. So when I built a new motor I replaced every single Gasket ensured all surfaces were clean and flat and used high quality permatec and silicon. Now it drips one tiny little drip a day just to piss me off I think. I don’t know where from I don’t know how it’s possible; I think it’s just the way Starions are!

2 of mine don't leak a drop, the other leaks a little - only requires a cleanup every 3 or 4 months. Maybe I'm just lucky

The only place my Starion leaks form is the rear of the rocker cover (can't be bothered fixin it cos its minimal) and it flows out of the power steering pump and drag box, can't drive more than 40kms without a refill!!!!!!

Glen GSR's starion doesn't do much really. Kind of just sits there all sad-like. Its the undercoat grey that makes it look bad. :(
