Breather line and oil blow by.

[Jeff Bost]

Gentlemen,

Here are a few pics I snapped today of my crankcase breather line. I’ve gone from 7 to 4 qts in 13 hrs, with most being blown overboard. I realize I overfilled at the oil change but I’m concerned at my oil use. I went over the engine pretty well this morning and found no real leaks. A little oil at the bottom of the dipstick tube. I thought maybe I’m getting a vacuum at the breather and drawing oil out. I’d appreciate any ideas. Thanks,

Jeff

It’s a good bet that you are getting a vacuum drawn on that breather…

What’s your best guess on how to fix it? Thanks, Jeff

I replaced the dipstick tube base gasket with a silicone one....
Helped my oil loss noticeably...
