How much blow by are you having? There should be no need for a second vent, and NO need to do more or blow out O rings...

I dont see that happening unless you have a severe issue.

I've had a hole in a cylinder and drove the truck 20 miles... Blew the dipstick right out of the tube but no other o rings had issues.
