Greetings Lazy Eye,

And does that mean Right View with or without the asavas?

I trust Retrofuturist will not mind me adding to the answers to your question.

The Right View with avasa also means the moral right view that remains not free of 'self-views'.

For example, "we" recognise and are grateful to "our" benefactors, such as our mother & father, our teachers, our employers, our employees, our co-workers, our friends, our environment, etc, by acknowledging what has been given, offered & sacrificed by "them" to "us". This right view is that of 'inter-being'. As 'self-views' remain in such a (wholesome) right view, it is right view with asava.

Similarly, it is right view that from "my" doing good karma, "I" will gain a good result and from "my" doing bad karma, "I" will gain a bad result. As 'self-views' remain in such a (wholesome) right view, it right view with asava .

The asava are three-fold, namely, the asava of sensuality, the asava of becoming ('self-views') and the asava of ignorance.

Please bear in mind, in MN 60, the Buddha encouraged the householder to possess & adhere to such a right view.

And what is the right view that has effluents (asava), sides with merit & results in acquisitions? 'There is what is given, what is offered, what is sacrificed. There are fruits & results of good & bad actions. There is this world & the other worlds. There is mother & father. There are spontaneously born beings; there are priests & contemplatives who, faring rightly & practicing rightly, proclaim this world & the others after having directly known & realized it for themselves.' This is the right view that has effluents, sides with merit & results in acquisitions.

MN 117 Now, householders, of those brahmans & contemplatives who hold this doctrine, hold this view — 'There is what is given, what is offered, what is sacrificed. There are fruits & results of good & bad actions. There is this world & the other worlds. There is mother & father. There are spontaneously born beings; there are priests & contemplatives who, faring rightly & practicing rightly, proclaim this world & the others after having directly known & realized it for themselves' — it can be expected that, shunning these three unskillful activities — bad bodily conduct, bad verbal conduct, bad mental conduct — they will adopt & practice these three skillful activities: good bodily conduct, good verbal conduct, good mental conduct. Why is that? Because those venerable brahmans & contemplatives see in unskillful activities the drawbacks, the degradation and the defilement; and in skillful activities the rewards of renunciation, resembling cleansing.
