so, I wonder if it is oil in the filter housing, or mostly from the rear of the pan?
Hmm.
That is why i posted the earlier question about how best to drain the oil.

No it is oil from the filter housing that drains out. Apparently there is a "reservoir" of oil that drains when you remove the filter holder. My car was on a lift the whole time, dead level so the only oil that came down after my initial drain was from the filter housing itself. Besides, on the 606 the drain plug is not on the back but on the side of the crankcase, toward the front.
