Drill it into the top part of the sump....

It doesn't have to be higher than the oil level.

One of mine's well below it and I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever.

I have a clear section of pipe in my oil drain & you can see the oil flow.

So did I.....till it melted......

I've ended up with some 10bar hydraulic hose, very OTT but it works fine

Ow, a by the way, my oil return is direct into the sump, just over the oil level, no issus at all.

HTH, Mark.
