s220 Oil Leak

[vaporbiz]

I just ran my 220 for about 1 hour after parking it has a small oil puddle under the blow by hose is this normal or should I be concerned? The machine has 2100 hours on it and I don't know the history I just purchased it. I have plenty of power and the hydraulics run great just an oil leak.

A little oil from the hose is normal, a lot isn't. Make sure your oil level is rite, if its over full it possibly could cause this.
How does it start? when running, do you get smoke from the breather hose? if you are getting smoke, it could be that the engine is a little worn, but with those hours it really shouldn't be.
I wish i knew what an acceptable amount of blow-by was, you can cover the end and see how much you get, there shouldn't be a LOT but a small amount is fine.

I do get some smoke but the machine has a ton of power and no knocking, noises or other problem I have found.
