My brother -in Law has a Kubota L2350 small tractor diesel
engine and it has started blowing oil out the vent pipe that comes off the top of the engine. any suggestions of what the problem might be.

Thanks Wayne L Spell

A few possible causes of this: (1) Fluid (oil and possibly diesel fuel) in crankcase above the full mark on the dipstick. Remedy: If diesel is getting into crankcase, repair injector pump, drain and renew oil. If just overfilled, drain excess oil. (2) Tractor not in use for awhile-rings sticking in grooves. Remedy: work the tractor under load for a while and see if it clears up. (3) Damage to the rings and/or piston ring lands caused by something besides air (starting fluid, WD40, propane, gasoline liquid or vapors, etc.) getting in intake. (4) Use of motor oil designated 'for gasoline engines' and/or oil of a lower or higher viscosity than required for this engine; my manuals show 10W-30 for all temps with 10W being the lowest single-viscosity for cold weather and 30W being the highest for hot. (5) Damage caused by inadequate warmup and/or cooldown before/after heavy work.
(6) Damage caused by engine overspeed (governor failure or adjusted too high).
