This is a very sensible observation. If we can change the corrugated hoses with smooth hoses that won't collapse if vacuum is induced, the oil will not stay trapped in there. Maybe in very cold environment, the hoses don't warm enough, and there is more and more oil trapped in there (getting thick with cold), until it discharges at once?
You made the observation that the transparent hoses do collapse slightly. Maybe some PVC hoses attached to the OEM nipples?
