That would keep the draft tube from working at all. The tube needs to hang down into the air flowing under the engine at speeds above 30 MPH or so, which produces a vacuum at the end of the tube. The position and length of the tube was the subject of a lot of pretty sophisticated engineering. If it drips, the engine is well on the way to needing an overhaul. It probably smokes out of the valve cover vents or the oil fill cap at idle, right?
