Thanks for the info. It is a big help. A tee on the filter bottom outlet and a short hose to the pump would be an easy thing to do. The bolt for the banjo fitting on the pump I have has a fairly small bore -- much smaller than the 1/4 tubing used in the filter plumbing so it might be a limit to quantity allowed to enter. Any idea if the pump could be damaged if a larger than 1 oz supply was provided?

You used the filler cap for the return but since no specs to specify if the return port needed to be higher or lower than pump or how big it needed to be, was also thinking that maybe the old block port just above the oil pan where the crankcase vacuum was located could be used to keep the return hose mostly out of sight. I think without the crankcase pump plumbing that port is just open into the space but since the pump outlet tube is fairly large and the block port is smaller, not sure if it would be big enough. Thoughts??
