 Verify it is not the oil pressure gauge take-off fitting located in the same area.  No it wont stop regardless of which fitting it's coming from.

It is a common modification to pipe the later MkII vent down the side of the engine as very little oil comes out of this opening.  The MkI is a different story.  Piping a MkI vent under the car will lead to an engine quickly running out of oil.  The vent needs to be piped to the oil/vapor separator mounted on the firewall next to the battery so the oil can drain back to the sump.
