Yes.... sorta.
The catch can is to contain it. But if you don't want to check it and empty it regularly, you gotta get rid of it somehow.
No track will allow you to just drain that to the ground, but we've been venting/ draining to the exhaust for a very long time.
We're not talking about more than a drop of oil here and there. If you're getting more than that, something's wrong. And we're also not taking about pumping that oil through the motor and saturating it with fuel, as you suggested in your post before you edited it.
