Based on my general motorcycle and car engine knowledge, I'd say do
the following:
Get a crankcase breather filter of the right size and attach a hose
to the breather filter and to the point on the fill tube. Place the
hose somewhere that it can stay out of the way and still provide a
place for the crankcase to blow air in and out.

It would cause problems with oil blow by in the rings and seal issues.
