I've been having some oil weep and oil usage problems with my Aerosport engine ever since new and I now have about 130 hours on it. Recently I checked with Aerosport on it and they recommended examining my breather tube to make sure the crankcase wasn't getting pressurized. I remember being very cognizant of this issue during installation, but I also remember seeing lots of different and contradictory suggestions for how to cut the end of the tube. Below is a picture of how my breather tube exists now as well as some alternatives. (If I recall correctly, the bend that exists in the tube coming from the firewall is how it came from Vans.)
Which way would you recommend I configure my breather tube to minimize any potential pressurization?
1. Cut a bevel like "A"
2. Cut a bevel like "B"
3. Bring the tube down straighter and cut a bevel like "C"
4. Bring the tube down straighter and cut a bevel like "D"
5. Leave it as is
6. None of the above (explain below)
Thanks for any help!
