Don Fairchild used an unused block plug in the crankcase above the oil line for the oil return.  Hopefully this picture came through.  Good Luck, TomC

I apologize for the quality, don't quite know what happened-the picture was taken with a 10.2mp camera.  Good Luck, TomC

I'll see if I can get a better picture if needed, but it is like Tom said. Don just always picks an unused port that is low on the side of the block and pipes the turbo oil back into the engine there. It goes right back into the oil pan and ready to be filtered and used again.
