Hi Dave,

Very interesting suggestion on the breather vent. Can you give an estimate of 
how
much oil you are catching in the bottle ?

instead
of suction at the bottom of the engine compartment, and collected the small
amount of oil that does appear from the breather, instead of spreading it under
the fuselage.
