They must be open to the air in one way or another. If you simply join them together the pressure in the crank case will find another way out hence the dipstick erupting.

Normally they are fed back into the air intake but when we used to race a rover 3.5 we had a catch can arrangement which needed emptying every so often.

If they are blowing huge amounts of oil you have other issues with your engine. Worn rings are the normal culprits.
