A temporary fix for mine....Well, it's still on there. I got a 3/8 universal inline fuel filter I had laying around and used it as a filter/breather and put it inline with the passenger valve cover 3/8 nipple on the front. I then ran a hose down the front of the motor so if it did blow any out it would be down under the truck. You need a vent path under boost. Every engine has some blowby and a boosted engine will always have more. If there is no vent path for boost it will push oil out your rear main etc.

I never mounted my extinguisher, it's just been rolling around in my back seat for the past year.
