Default GTS oil consumption & motor mounts

Topping off oil the other day, engine warm after some highway driving, found oil pooling in the filler neck. My motor mounts aren't the worst, but not replaced anytime recently (if ever)...wondering whether anyone's seen a reduction in oil consumption (breather ingestion) on the 5.4L with new motor mounts, which would eliminate the forward tilt of the engine that worn motor mounts cause and perhaps result in better drain from the filler and less oil hanging around up there waiting to get sucked in.

I really need to set up some sort of catch can for that breather line.

The wheel base of a 928 is 98 Inches the engine torque tube and transmission is held up by two front motor mounts and the two rear trans mounts near the axle line .... IF the motor mounts collapsed by a full two inches that is only a slope of 2 percent , the trans mounts also sag over time so less than 2 %... I do not see this as a factor in the oiling question.
