Default lathe leveling

I just moved my Colchester Clausing from one side of the shop to
another. Originally I had it leveled so that coolant on the ways, when
working near the headstock, would slowly flow down the ways to the
tailstock and past and then drip into the pan. My thinking was: thats a
good way to keep the ways lubed, and when using the tailstock, it slides
easily. Now I'm thinking I level it the other way so coolant never much
flows past the work and keep the rest lubricated with way oil.

What do you guys think is best?

cheers
T.Alan
