I thought of that as well but i think it would be a PITA.. I was gonna change the oil pan gasket anyways, so i just wanted to know if it is ok to do. I dont know if the oil will make its way back up to the oil separator.. I dont think the oil in the pan is under any type of pressure..

That would be the proper solution if executed well. The oil shouldn't make its way back up. I do not have any problems with it routed into the air intake.

My friend I have the same ordeal you have. I have NO return hole next to the turbo drain line either. What did you end up doing with the return line?

You don't get a runaway from a small amount of fuel entering and combusting. You get runaway from an absolutely uncontrollable volume of fuel entering... as in, a garden hose of oil being pumped straight from the oil pan into the intake, a constant line supply of diesel being intaken that can't be stopped... that kind of thing. Runaway occurs with an unstoppable volume of fuel that can't be stopped from combusting. A few drops of oil aren't going to cause a runaway, unless enough oil travels through the line to keep the cylinders firing with no extra diesel fuel. If this is the case, then you'd be running out of oil frequently.
