Not sure what a relief tube is? It is definitely not an oil breather, and it is a long way forward of the battery. It is just behind the firewall, so under your feet somewhere. To find out more would involve removing floorboards etc. and I have better things to do right now.
The reason for asking is that after the engine stops a few drops of what appears to be Avgas dribbles out. There is no smell inside the cabin. Does the fuselage tank have a breather pipe or something?
