Are you sure?
I can't remember mine ever not blowing oil out that hose, even with a new rebuild.

That is the usual reason for it coming out the vent hose in excess. I doubt yours is excesive. At least I don't recall it being excessive. My vent tube filter will get wet with oil also and i need to clean it once in a while. But i clean it often enough to keep it to a min.

It seem to be a common problem on the DS.
I think it is caused by the way the breather pipe connects to the crank case. The connection is quite low and if you take a high speed left hand corner, the oil moves to the right hand side and is splashed into the breather pipe. The same happens when you do technical riding and the go down steep hills and the oil moves into the breather hose. It is then blown out thanks to the crank case pressure created by the pistons downward stroke.
You will get this oil leak on brand new to very old DS's
The rings might be gone if you tested for leaks, but i don't believe it is the major cause for the leaking oil.
