What is the distance between the vent top and the eaves? It looks close but its hard to tell.
Pic #1, longest pipe of the 2, OAK is in the timble.Which on is the xxv?
If fumes enter the attic space and some might, I doubt they stay there long as I have a roof vent which sucks out everything on a continual basis.Could the exhaust escape into the overhead roof venting and you have a ceiling fan possibly sucking in the fumes from the attic somehow, even drawing the fumes into the roof vent?
Odd in the termination isn't directly away from the house and given the propensity for CO to rise.
I'd want to get that termination down several feet from the sofit, your attic vent system may qualify as either J or K on page 8 of the XXV manual depending on if it is powered or not.
1) I swivelled the termination that way to stop the wind to force itself into the pipe.
2) J or K? really? not D & E?

Well I'm tired, my electric heaters on the main floor are printing money for Hydro One, at least they are very safe. Will see what the dealer says tomorrow.
I'm greatful for everything dont get me wrong, the head hurts, too much thinking for one dayI just want to help get the situation all good and safe.
I've got an XXV and I've thought about getting a meter and doing the draft test, but as I've not had any issues I've been holding off. I am vented differently that you. I'm curious when you did the draft test what you got for a high draft reading, was it within the -.50 to -.60 and then shift to -.35 to -.45 as indicated in the manual excerpt below?I have a P61A that burns beautifully on the opposing wall, west side. The vent is clean as a whistle, as it was 2 weeks ago when I got the bad burn and gummed up the stove. No 6 blinks. All that is different from 2 weeks ago is the draft adjustment from -.75 to -.45, according to the Harman instructions the draft was way off.

I kind of would think a "cap" of sorts on the end of the vent to block direct wind would help such as in this link

and would be fairly easy to fabricate and try.
