• an oil pickup port defined substantially at said first end adjacent said bottom of said reservoir and adapted to allow oil to exit said reservoir;
• and
• a baffle having a top wall, at least one side wall depending from said top wall, and a cavity at least partially defined by said top wall and said at least one side wall, said baffle being at least partially disposed in said reservoir and at least partially defining an oil passageway substantially at said second end such that oil entering said reservoir through said oil return port flows through said oil passageway before exiting through said oil pickup port.

An oil reservoir baffle comprising:

• a top wall;
• a side wall;
• an end wall;
