Thanks Paul,
All that info and drawings are most helpful.

I've got a feeling that there is more oil being collected here than we
imagine, perhaps from the side seals - hence the large collection area.

I will keep working on it- where's Butch when you need him.

The side seals are keeping what oil escapes from the rear main bearing
on this side of the rear rotor from getting into the combustion chamber.
This oil also lubes the phasing gear on this side of the rotor in the

process.

I think a little restriction in the drain back might not hurt that much.
In other words I think the side seals could handle a bit more oil

pressure.

The vast majority of the oil is squirted up into the rotor on
the other side of the rotor and drains back down to the pan in the center

housing.

Paul,
Thanks again!
I believe you be right there, I will work toward a solution, given that
information.
