Yes. The two vent/overflow hoses have a natural bend over the back of the engine from what I remember.
If the carbys flood due to a combination of bad fuel tap and bad float needles, you can still get petrol down one or more cylinders which will get past the piston rings and into the sump and even then you
might not get petrol come out of the vent/overflow hoses. I found this out the hard way.
Until you get the fuel system sorted it may be best to keep the engine oil level below the upper mark by the window. This way it is easier to see if the oil level has risen due to petrol contamination. You can see in the early pics of the Resurrection GPX I have done this. One day I did find that the level had risen. The other clue was the engine not turning over on the starter due to hydraulic lock in at least one cylinder.
