I have never looked inside the 4x4 separator but you can bet that if it's only started throwing oil out since this was blocked off then it's worth plumbing it back in and seeing what the results are.. let me know..

The kidney box on a 4x4 drains back into the sump unlike the 2wd one

Sounds like its filling with oil and pumping it up into the breather now that you have blocked the return off

You need to change to the 2wd type kidney box
