Hello all, SN YQU3362 on this girl, mid-late 90's. Cummins 6bt5.9, though I don't have the engine SN available yet.
(I'm an amateur mechanic, but this one I haven't learned about yet.)
I've got a lot of oil coming out of the crankcase vent hose on the side of the block, on the hydraulic pump end of it.
I'm looking around and it seems it's either a backed up "crankcase ventilation system" (hopefully), or blow-by (hopefully not). The engine does run well, doesn't blow smoke at all, and has oil checked regularly, but this is a new phenomenon. Hopefully there is some filter in there that's clogged?
Thanks in advance!
