The pipe that normally goes from the rocker/cam cover which is the black or silver cover on top of your engine to the intake pipe which is a pipe that goes from the airfilter to the intake manifold.

I'd say its probably a waste of time on an NA car. Turbo cars seem to blow a bit more oil out. If you are losing lots of oil then there is something more than that wrong.
