Nooooooooo!
What you have is blow by. Not a huge deal if its a small quantity of oil, but could indicate a bigger problem down the line.
Install a catch can between the breather outlet and the air box. You can buy them, or for only a few bucks, you can make one. There are tons of videos on YouTube. Look it up and do that.
There's 2 reasons I say this.
1. It's cleaner for the trails and your car.
Blowing oil all over your frame is just messy.
2. It will give you an idea of how much oil you're actually using. And will let you know if the piston rings are just a little worn, or if its time for a rebuild.

As for tube door latches, is it possible to use a spring loaded pin and just drill a striker hole on the B pillar?
I know there's a few threads in the fabrication section. You could try there if you're looking to make your own.
