The net effect is that when oil that would normally overwhelm the AOS and end up in the intake gets into the hose, it drops to the bottom of the coil. Because the hose is clear, I can see when there's oil in it, and I pull it off and drain it.
It's worked well SO FAR.

That's a great idea! How much oil do you find? Does your oil level seem to stabilize at a certain point. For example I have heard folks with a catch can say that if they top off their oil, a few ounces quickly gets into the catch can and then no more.
On my Boxster, I accidentally overfilled my oil before my first track day in 2013 and blew a huge smoke bomb. I left early, and fixed my oil level (dropped the filter and drained the oil out of the canister) and never had any trouble with that AOS in 6 years of track days, and in fact that same AOS is still on the car.
I now have the 2 QT LN Deep sump and run (well ran since I have a Cayman now that I track) the oil level about 1/2 down between the two digital tick marks (2000 S) and what I have found is that if I top off the oil, for me, although I don't blow any smoke bombs, it goes down until about the middle and then stabilizes.
I have seen plenty of smoke bombs from other 986 Boxsters and some 987.1 Caymans, but I've been lucky and never had one after that first scary one
