    had aquick question is it normal for my engine to drip oil from engine breather tube, its not dripping bad but if i leave it idling for about 2 hours or more she will leave about a 2" diameter stain on floor, no water its black and its oil for sure.

    oil level is were it needs be and is not overfilled. also its coming from inside breather tube, not that its oil hitting tube and dripping down outside of it, its physically coming from inside of breather tube. it will not do it more or less its always same amount.

    herez the other kicker engine has NO BLOWBY that is visible whatsoever not even a mist even after a 1000 mile trip and idling for a while it will have no visual blowby. also only wates around 1/2 galllon of oil in between.oil changes i do.at 12k miles so whats the deal with this stubborn drip. it just bothers me to see it drip and it have no blowby.


    anyone?

    All it needs is more road! If something is wrong with the baffle in valve cover could contribute to loss of oil but I thank you are overly concerned. If you are parked for extended periods I thank it's better for engine and turbo to be at 900-1100 rpm.
