why not feed the inlet line to the bottom? if the can is higher than the crankcase vent, the unit will drain back leisurely when the engine is off. only other thing to me would be the oily mist that might get through the steel wool. some of the vapor/mist could make a big mess in a nice clean compartment!

the breather cap is filtered as well. I guess yo ucould do the bottom. I do it the same way on my cars but I dont want the oil back.
steel wool does do a pretty good job of stopping the oil from coming out from the breather. I guess after a few more miles I will find out!

Nice little set up. I have been pondering something similar but would have it set up with the canister down low (frame rail perhaps) and would have the breather mounted further away from the canister. Not sure if it would make a difference with the oil vapor issue. We'll have to see how yours does.
