Since I read the list, sending duplicate messages is just redundant. Please 
don't bother.

I am surprised that I can't find a picture of the proper setup in the Bentley. 
Yes, the top looks like the photo you found, but there does not appear to be 
any photo that shows the bottom.  

What you have nicely described is indeed the -67 draft tube. This makes it 
seem likely that your engine has been replaced with an earlier one. What's 
your engine #? Your 70 would need the rear mount; does your case have the 
mounting points for the rear mount cross bar cast into the magnesium case? 
Or does it have some kind of steel adapter there instead?  

To answer your original question, an occasional drop of oil out of a draft tube 
is pretty normal. There is often a fair amount of water in those drops, too. I 
think I have the parts which you might want to add back to your 70. The draft 
tube was dropped in 68 in order to improve emissions.
