The one that 'Runs' may be set-up to do so [basically the return hose for the breather to the metering unit is blocked off and the idle mixture adjusted to suit]. In which case it won't be doing any damage and is a better breather system.

This is how I ran my RST's and collected the oil/fumes in a catch tank rather than returning them to the engine.
