In case anyone is unaware, the OCS (oil contaminant separator), otherwise know as the 'campfire tube,' is frequently installed upside down at the factory. Here is a photograph of the correct orientation of the OCS. The hose should connect at the top, with the clamp at the bottom.
Here is a photograph of the OCS in the incorrect position. There should not be a large loop in the hose coming from the crankcase.

Spud,
You are going to drive me crazy. In both of the photos the OCS is in the same position. Also, I don't think the loop in the tube makes a difference as long as it is not pinched off. I don't remember what thread the earlier photos were in.
I finally when out and looked at the OCS on my bike and this is what I found.
There was nothing in the "campfire tube" and nothing has ever leaked from it.
Because of the weather since I got it in October I have only run two tanks of gas through it. Mileage are 63.9 and 61.6 MPG.
So, is my OCS correct or upside down?
