First, let me say there was an excelent article on this subject in Light Plane Maintenance within the past year or so. Next, let me say that the exact location depends on your specific airframe. In general, however, you generally want it to be somewhere below the bottom edge of the firewall but not below the bottom of the cowl, as that puts it in the slipstream which will create a vacuum on the tube and help draw the oil out. One trick that seems to help alot is to route the tube over the top of the cylinders before going down toward the firewall. This gives a few inches of slope back toward the crankcase to aid any oil in the line to find its way back. The previously mentioned extension to the fitting helps too as it prevents oil from following the surface of the case to the inlet to the vent line.
