Oil coming out the crankcase tube
Original Message   Jan 27, 2006 4:00 pm
I've got a few hours on a Husqvarna 8527SBE (8.5Hp Tec L-head).   Ever since I changed the oil (2 hour break-in) I see that after using the blower, there is some oil on the left side of the chassis.   The oil is undoubtedly coming from the crankcase tube and is not a lot (maybe 1 square inch of oily stuff).   

I used the recommended viscosity of oil, and I have not over filled it.  Since changing it, the oil level has been halfway between "add" and "full" on the dipstick when screwed in. 

Should I be concerned, or is this normal?

One other thing to mention is since the engine is new you will have more blowby for awhile untill the engine gets broke in. This may make it worse but that is not the main problem. HTH
