How much oil are you talking about? How much are you getting in the bilge? I know I have a pan leak, it leaves a pretty good film in the bilge, but its just something I have to get used to until I fix it.

I am not sure where it is going, but I use about 1/2 qt. of oil for every tank of gas. I am not finding that much in the bilge, and it seems to run good, so I just keep adding a little each time out. Anything important I am missing?

I tried an "evac system" like you're talking about. Could not get it to work with the logs. I think the log exhaust just has too much back pressure.
Do your valve covers have baffles? Mine didn't...blew oil all over. Got baffles now...end of problem.
