Very little blow-by gets to the crank-case of a rotary due to the blow-by collection ring on the side of the rotor. This automatically routes blow-by back to the intake ports.

Bill, I had originally installed an oil/air separator similar to what many
aircraft engines use. However, after years and hundreds of hour of flying,
I removed it as I never found any oil in the fine wire screen mesh in the
can.
