I put the oil filler at the back working on the theory if any oil is spilt or sprays out while checking for oil in the cam housing, it is less likely to end up on the cam belt. Oil and cam belts is not a good mix. Lets face it everything else is difficult to access         ( distributer, dip stick, exhaust manifold ) you would hardly want to make it easy to put oil into would you?

Mine runs with heaps of oil in the cam covers, they literally bath in oil that fills the area up to about a 1/3 full. Proof enough it gets up there.
