When I shut down after a flight, the breather tube makes a mess on the ground. Often it will leave a spot of oil on the ground roughly the size of half of a dollar bill. Before I install an air-oil separator, is there anything that can be done to decrease the amount of oil coming out of the breather tube. The end of the tube is located approximately 3 "above the exhaust. It seems well out of the slipstream. Micah Froese Lancair Legacy 104 hours
