Engine including an air filter assembly

An engine, comprising:

• a breather conduit;
• an intake conduit;
• an air filter assembly comprising:
• a filter element comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a first aperture through the bottom wall, a second aperture through the bottom wall, and filter media extending between the top and bottom walls and at least partially defining an interior chamber of the filter element, wherein the first and second apertures are the same shape, the same size, and are equally spaced apart from the center of the bottom wall;
• a case comprising a base, a first opening for receiving the breather conduit formed in the base, a second opening for receiving the intake conduit formed in the base, and a cover configured to be fastened to the base, wherein the base and the cover define an interior volume of the air filter assembly sized to receive the filter element with the first aperture and the second aperture of the filter element being at least partially aligned with the first opening and the second opening of the case, respectively;
• wherein the filter element is configured to be received in the case such that the breather conduit and the intake conduit are directed to and from the interior chamber of the filter element, respectively, whereby air filtered by the filter media mixes with unfiltered gases from the breather conduit in the interior chamber of the filter element prior to entering the intake conduit;
• wherein the first opening is positioned above the second opening when the engine is in an upright orientation, whereby gravity draws liquid emanating from the breather conduit toward the intake conduit.
