Bobcat 873 with grey smoke after warming up.

[janderson37]

Ive got a bobcat 873 that i found is sucking oil from the intake. It looks like it is a small line on the suction side of turbo that runs up to the front if the engine. Is this something that can be plugged off or what is the reason for this line?

What did you find? I was wondering if it is a bad head gasket sucking in oil to cylinder(s).? Or oil being sucked in past valve stems?

Can you get me a picture of the line? it sounds like a breather tube to me, but i'd need to see a picture to be sure.
