Dripless stuffing box vent tube location

[Project_Mayhem]

I'm not sure I'd have the hose open to the air if the open end is somewhere water getting to this open end will drip or splash onto the engine or some other area where you don't want water. If you back down hard it is possible to force water into the bellows and seal and up the hose. I found this out the hard way when I noted corrosion around a particular area on my Yanmar right below the open hose. I installed the HyPoint vent and now have no such water intrusion.

In my original post, I posted a pic of a catchment I designed for this application. I'm guessing it has about half a liter of capacity.
