Does anyone see an issues with the oil separator being mounted at an angle? I'm wondering if this will effect how well the weight works inside opening and closing the valves. After a light sessions of aerobatics with a little inverted and vertical flight I had a puddle of oil coming from my breather tube. It Didn't seem excessive to me just more than I would have expected for not flying my plane very hard.

When I originally bought the plane the oil separator was mounted vertical, but was removed for MX and was remounted at a slight angle.
