OMP question

ok, so I just found the OMP adpter on rotaryaviation that uses the omp and a container of 2 stroke oil to lubricate rather than engine oil.
I have been considering making something like this myself for a long time, but i always had one major concern:

in stock configuration, doesnt the OMP recieve oil at engine pressure? in other words...30 psi or so?
so how can they (or I) make an adapter that will flow the same amount of oil without some sort of auxillary pump?

I know some people have used the RA adapter with success, but it doesnt seem right to me...

anybody got any ideas?

called RWS, they answered my question:

there is a vent chamber between the OMP and the oil source, so that it only gets oil at atmospheric pressure.
