What's the problem? I wouldn't look at it as "dirty", it's
coming out of the engine already. (of course, the same argument
could be used to argue for drinking urine)
I wouldn't worry about routing it back in. If it's airborne
it's pretty clean in terms of particulates. Vapourous oil
and gasoline burn fairly well. Free mileage!

I suppose it depends what emissions you are measuring. The
CO measurements might go up, but the HC readings will go
down.

Depends if you have to pass a visual or not.
