Re: oil building up ontop of engine behind p/s pump

I reckon its coming from the IRIS butterfly valve spindle. They accumulate oil down there, that leaks out when it is stopped.

The cause I believe is the passages in the air box, where the cam breathers connect to each end, they both connect to a smaller tube that runs through the box, and exits out the right hand end of the box, to a elbow hose that finally goes into the air delivery pipe.

The passages in the box are small, and will block to cause crank case pressure on full throttle. This I believe is a major cause of an engine that leaks oil from all the gaskets, and seals.

Pull the box off and clean the passages.

Harvey.
