Hello Tim.
Yup, it is very likely that you will have the dreaded oil out the dipstick
problem. The air filter just doesn't have any vacuum to do the job. Run the hose
to the intake manifold.
BTW, do a quick check on the primary idle jet. If it has a 50 stamped on it, and
you are having problems trying to get it to idle nicely, then switch to a 60.
This worked for me.
