Oil in the filler neck is still the most baffling part of all this.

I wonder if it is specific to a particular series of blocks? aren't the oil passages different EJ207 vs. 257, etc...
It was really odd. It only happend two times out at the courses in Fernley last year. I saw a couple of instances of this on Nasioc, but from what I remember Grimmspeed said they had one of their first batches come out with the wrong sized o-ring on the cap or something like that. I figured that was my issue, and I was going to hit them up for a new o-ring, but it never happened again.
