hello
chewing gum!

no but seriously what you have suggested would be the cleanest looking solution i would think.

you could just chop the dipstick holder tube off about 200 mm from the block and crimp it.

you could run a small line from your breather box to here as a drain too .

this is what im going to do when i sort out another position for my oil teemp sender im using a dipstick one in this location at the minute.

you see i can only fit a small breather box in the confines of a typ 3 compartment and i would like it to be a serviceless item fit and forget gives you more time for the important things in life like driving the thing thats why we go typ 4 isnt it.
