Abstract
An oil drainage device for an oil separator of an internal combustion engine includes a first chamber, a second chamber, a connector and a conduit. The first chamber receives oil from the oil separator. The second chamber is coupled to a sump. The connector extends between the first and second chambers. The connector defines a fluid path along which oil can flow between the first and second chambers. The conduit is disposed within the connector and provides a path for crankcase blow-by gases that is separate from the fluid path.
