    Bert Gen 2 oil blow by?

    Just recently I started noticing a bunch of oil around the transmission after runs and idling in the shop today, it pushed a decent amount of oil out of the over flow tube on to the shop floor. Any ideas? Hasn’t done this before and it’s relatively fresh. Thanks

    how much fluid are you using to fill?
    IIRC it is like 3/4 of a quart.
    also do you have the vent tube running vertical, then a loop at the top and running back down?
    I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

          needs to be 1/2" below fill plug or site glass.
          believe you have to much fluid in it.
