Calypso has a Perkins 4-108 with the oil filter side mounted, upside down.

I poke a hole in the bottom to drain the filter into a small container prior to 
removing the filter.  A vent hole in the top helps the process.

It would be great to meet the design engineer and ask; What the H*#!L were you 
thinking?

I haven't tried it myself, but I read many times in various forums about making 
a hole on top of the oil filter with a screwdriver to drain the oil from it.

Might be worth a try.
