What does the plumbing look like on the inside of the overflow? Is is just draining through the bulkhead?

Might use an external Durso

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would think just drilling the top of the elbow would cause a leak.

You could do a type of duriso standpipe with that set-up. The part with the air hole would have to be higher than the tank to prevent water from coming out of it

Your going to want to replace that 90 with a T. Put a cap in the top of the T with an air hole drilled. I you want to get fancy you can run a piece of air line with a valve out of the air hole.

What your going to have to make is an external durso standpipe. If you google it you should be able to find diagrams.
