For your pooling, you basically have to route the hoses so all the oil flows to the can (decline). Where my catch can is, it flows at a decline to the catch can.

I saw your setup, you will get a little bit pooling, and it may not be an issue since the hoses are large enough, and eventually will flow to the can.
Yea I drained the system before putting it back in. Only a few drops sit in the elbow. Im going to find either another elbow or a larger hose to set it to a decline. Thanks for the info ill be searching around now. Also the BMS can is should have 5/8 inch OD for the inlet/ outlet. Hence why 3/4 fits so easily around it.
