That hole is probably an oil drain, not a crankase ventilation hole. If you don't have an oil drain for the separator in the air filter, you are either dripping the oil on the road or dumping it down the intake.

The crankcase will vent quite nicely through the chain case on the front of the engine -- it's not exactly constricted there....
