 The reducer is just a couple of brass fittings that I had on hand, that would fit together and happened to be the right sizes to fit the two hoses.  Probably I could have found something in the nylon hose fittings that would have worked as well, but I didn't bother to work.

Judson is quite right about the need to deal with oil fumes.  A separator like those used in the early cars is likely ideal, but finding space for one, in a later car, could be a bit tricky.  My setup uses a fairly long vertical hose at the breather spigot, and perhaps that serves nearly as well.

As the saying goes, if it's dumb but it works, it isn't dumb.
