I must have missed the original post but would offer that myself and others have installed an automotive oil catch can to the diesel engine vent hose that loops back to the air filter. The engine compartment was always covered in an oily mist but its relatively clean now and not greasy. You will get a bit of belt dust but that's easy to rinse away. I have seen an oil catch can installed on Yanmar and Universal Kubota diesels. I ordered my catch can online. It's an inexpensive improvement. I believe Josh Muckley put his Yanmar install on YouTube. Depending on use, I get an ounce or two of oil a season on the Universal M35 but I don't log many hours use.
