My question is about the oil level sensor. Is anybody using it and if

it

is useful. If not I would like to remove it and use the port to return

the

drain back oil from the PSRU

I think the PSRU oil should go in above the normal oil level in the pan.

I'm also looking for a place to return my PSRU oil.  I'm keeping the oil
metering pump for the time being - so that location is not an option.
My only other thought (short of disassembling the block and drilling a
hole) is to put a little auxiliary tank (maybe 2"x2"x4") maybe located
under the plugs or between the rotors where the unused engine mount is
and then hook up a 1/2" drain tube on the bottom into the oil pan, a
breather tube connected to the unused breather outlet next to the oil
filler, and a 3/8" tube to the PSRU.

Another option is to put in a "mongo sized" tube (e.g. 1" ID) directly
into the oil pan and then a reducer to 3/8" somewhere above the
full-level. I think the 1" tube would allow the froth from the PSRU to
dissipate.

Any thoughts?
