oil spots from rocker cover vent tube

bigblue · Dec 22, 2008

I was plowing snow today and noticed several drops of yellowish-brown oil on the snow and traced it to the vent tube from the rocker cover. Is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks

Need a lot more info about what you're plowing with to even hazard a guess.

What you've given us so far is like calling a doctor on the telephone and asking him (or her) why you're bleeding.

I have a 1970 Ford 4000SU gas. What else would you like to know?

A few drips out of the rocker breather tube shouldn't be anything to worry about. It's probably just pushing out the condensation that accumulates in the engine sitting in the cold. You just notice it more in the snow. If you get it hot and it gets worse you may have other problems developing.

Thanks Chris. That makes sense as it had been sitting out in the cold for several days before.

Maybe an idea to pull the rocker cover off and clean out the gung, that builds up with short cold runs. Try and give the tractor a good workout, and get it up to operating temperature.
